AKC C-Course

Held by:  Greater New York Herding Club

Place:  Kergloff Farm, Columbia, NJ

(See Geary Loff’s Herding Beaucerons on Side Bar for Link to Herding Club/Premium List)

Dates:  Saturday, November 6th, Judge:   Judy Vanderford

Sunday, November, 7th, Judge:  Deborah Pollard

Just recently the HGH was held at Kergloff Farm in NJ and the turnout was super!    Last weekend was the first Official  HGH held at this farm and in November will be the third AKC C-course to be hosted at the same location (Farm side).

All spectators are welcome to come and see the dogs work.  I also believe that there are still openings to enter this trial.  I urge anyone who is interested in herding to come out and watch the dogs herd the sheep through many obstacles to demonstrate their  herding abilities.

Note:  If your interested in pursuing herding with your dog in this style or type of herding with a larger flock of sheep, please inquire as there are openings for new students.  If you contact Geary Loff, you can schedule a time for him to evaluate your dog and arrange for lessons.

Herding lessons are for breeds that are suitable to handle large flocks, minimum 100 sheep, but usually more.   Breeds that work larger flocks in the C-Course or HGH style are the  Beauceron, German Shepherd, Bouvier, Briard, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheepdog,  Belgian Tervuren and similar type dogs. If you would like to see if your dog would make a good herding prospect for this type of herding, you can contact Geary at GJLoff@msn.com.

Training at Kerloff Farm

Herding takes a lot of commitment and time, but if your dog has the talent and the attraction to the sheep, it can be a great way to spend time with your dog.  It is a terrific way to build your relationship with your dog and a fantastic way to spend time in the great outdoors.
