Harry passed his herding instinct test in May at the American Boerboel trial. We tried to get the second leg of Taylor's PT (Pre-Trial tested) title but it was not meant to be. Taylor hasn't wanted to work in the heat. We have been struggling to get that one last leg. We will not be trialing again until September. Hopefully the cooler weather will give him a little more enthusiasm.
Sabrina and Harry are working on their titles as well. Harry prefers ducks to sheep but is starting to show more enthusiasm for the sheep. We're not sure if we are going to trial either of them on HT or just go to PT.
Sabrina is finally willing to take direction and shows a willingness to learn.
I'm very pleased with the herding ability of all 3. This has been a big learning curve for me as well. So many things to keep in mind. I not only have to learn to read the dog but the sheep as well and they are not always willing to participate!
