Herding Trial and Test

River Phillips  

Now is the time to see how much instinct your dogs have on sheep. All dogs over 6 months qualify for the herding instinct test. This is a great way to promote our breed and your kennel by letting people know our dogs have the instinct to do what they were bred to do. Or if the herding bug has already bitten and you have started your dog in herding classes come on out and get try for a leg in Started, Intermediate or Advanced. This will be something Ewe will be talking about!

Highlight of the week:

MASCUSA 2012 Class Sponsors

 

The class sponsors are filling up and we the Nationals Committee say "Thank You!" but we still have about 40 classes that need sponsors. So, this is to all of you who just can't make this year Nationals - why don't you sponsor a class that you WOULD have shown in if you had been here? We would love to see our entire list of classes filled by the time the catalog goes to print which will be in about 10 days. Just follow the link and sponsor a class. What could be easier?

 

MAS Keepsake Catalog pre-orders are due August 5!

Follow this link, print off your premium and send it in.

 

This will be the only First AKC Miniature American Shepherd National Specialty catalog so if you have MAS you will want one for your piece of MAS history.

We will be printing only a few additional catalogs so if you want you're 2012 MAS National Specialty keepsake catalog you must get your order in soon
