The club welcomes all spectators who want to see this event and support it. If you would like more information, go to our sidebar at the right under HERDING and click on Geary Loff’s Herding Beaucerons. There you will find additional information.

Training a dog for this type of work requires a considerable amount of time and dedication. Saturday there will be many seasoned handlers as well as some very talented dogs. The course will consist of many elements. Some of the basic obstacles that will be judged are the exit and entrance of the pen, the traffic work, bridge work, and both the narrow and wide graze. The dog will also be judged on obedience, working independently, diligence, protection (at the end of the run) and the grip.
Breizh (Beauceron) is a full-time working dog at Kergloff Farm, Knowlton, NJ.

After the trial, we will post the results of this event. Looks like it is going to be lovely weather for the trial. I am still keeping my fingers crossed!
A special thanks to Kathy DiStaso for supplying me with some wonderful photos of her dogs and others who have competed at past events.
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL COMPETITORS!
BAAAAAAA!
