There are now 6 Miniature American Shepherds in the OFA CHIC Program!!! This is fantastic! This is a lengthy process, for a dog to be in the CHIC program, but its well worth it for our breed! Take the time to click on each dog's CHIC link to see all the health testing and the interesting pedigree information at that link. Congratulations to all the dog Owners that have participated in the CHIC program!! BRAVO to you!!

  How to Train Your Dog to Calmly Walk on Leash   
Good article from Whole Dog Journal!
Passing by all manner of things in the real world - and being passed by them - is an important canine good manners skill. Unfortunately, it seems to be one that is absent in many dogs' behavior repertoires. Some training classes don't address this behavior challenge at all. Others do, but owners don't always take time to generalize the behavior outside the training center. Their dogs, in the real world, still bounce over to greet any and all comers on the street, or on the opposite end of the continuum, shy away from people and things that frighten them.

 

This will make you Giggle!  

Barbies   
Thought I would pass along this picture of Chase (Wigglebutt Catch Me If U Can).
 It really cracked me up. Big performance dog reduced to playing with Barbies, hehe! Talk about versatility.

I said, "Oh poor baby. No one will play Barbies with him." But then I realized that can't be true because we all know if he asked Richard to play Babies, Richard would. J

Falina IT Certificate 

I promised my son, Billy, that I would post this picture of his dog. He is so excited that she earned her AKC Herding Instinct Tested certificate in June! - Mindy

 

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!!
