Sheep River HIC and Fun Match May 22nd 23rd

The Crowd with the judges behind


This was the first and hopefully not the last of the Herding Instinct Test (HIC) and Fun Matches that the ASF of A has hosted. The event generated quite a nice turn out, raising money for the clubs' educational library of DVD's and providing many all breed handlers an opportunity to work their dogs on stock. The event was held out at Louanne Twa's Phantomridge Ranch, she gracious enough to both evaluate the dogs for their HIC's and judge the fun match as well. The was a good trun out with spectators as well.

Memebers were fairly successful in this even with Carolynn Shining with Junior. Discovering that woking sheep is not only fun but maybe even more when your handler isn't ready for you to advance and get in there. All in all, it was a great weekend it was especially nice to see the different breeds and watch how ther work their stock differently.
