INGen is going out of business!
Dear InGen Customers:

As many of you know, InGen settled its lawsuit with OptiGen concerning their PRCD patent. InGen agreed to cease testing for PRCD. Given this represented a significant portion of our sales, we have made a decision to close our doors and go out of business.
For those of you who have been archiving certificates in our on-line portal, please go on- line and print out copies of these reports. The website along with the portal will close permanently on Dec. 28, 2012. These certificates will no longer be available after this time. We will not be able to provide them in any other format after Dec. 28, 2012.
I thank all of you for your past support and wish you the best in your future breeding endeavors.
Rick Dobbins, GM

I think that the Working Aussie Source is one of the best locations on the net to find herding trials and clinics!

The opening page is for ASCA Trials but be sure and click on the Other Calendars and the Regional Calendars and other Events of Interest!

AKC HERDING TRIALS!

 

The Miniature American Shepherd is eligible to compete immediately in AKC Herding Trials!  As soon as you receive your AKC/FSS number you can enter an AKC Herding Trial.

 

Find AKC Herding Trials here!

 

If you have earned an AKC Herding Title please let me know,
Now that we are eligible to compete in AKC Herding Trials, we want to acknowledge those dogs who are out there earning titles and legs towards titles.
Let's have some fun and gather several photos and videos of our dogs herding!!

 

Send to me and I will place them in a future Tuesday Talk and maybe we can start a photo gallery of minis herding!

 

Let's do it right away!!
