If this is for your new girl - email Ann Witte and ask for a recommendation for an upright herding instructor. adoannie@webtv.net

SHe is great and you will LOVE her.
My vet and I are looking around :) This would be for my GSD and sheepdogs. My new girl may end up being an astronaut she can jump to the moon :o
the GSD would benefit from the upright instructor too - although the style from the OES would be different (not that my two aren't different as well)

Herding will definitly give you something to do :) and Ann is very helpful I did a seminar with her and she LOVED marley. tell her we said hi if you contact her.
Everyone knows that OES and GSD have a different herding style....my GSD is such a sweetie she mothers all the puppies I foster I don't know if she would be able to herd I just want to see if she has the instinct. She also had lyme disease and it ended her agility career so herding will be out but I would like to do the test, Thanks Molly is in training now 8O my instructor only had to take her 3 times :oops:

Morgan has Lyme and we still take him herding - some days he poops out a lot quicker than others :lol:

For a test you can go anywhere pretty much - if you are serious about herding I would avoid instructors who traditionally train BCs and Aussies. there is a lot of wasted counter training from what I have seen.

And - I know you know the GSD and the OES are different in style but I bet not "everybody" who will read this list knows that :wink:
Boy oh boy are they different :twisted: Not going to be serious about anything just want to have fun!!
