i found a farm that offers sheep herding lessons ... sadie and i are probably going in a week to see if she has any herding instinct. if she does, i am going to sign up to get her herding title... oh and mary.... they have beaucerons.........

Cool! Bet she would really enjoy that. If you go, don't forget to take pics!

i hope she does good, i will try to take pics, i would imagine the owner of the farm would work her right since i have no idea what is involved?? this would be good so i can take pics lol.... i emailed him back and asked if he has next saturday open so am waiting to hear..

[maryellen]

well we are back, she did good, she is very immature, so the guy wants us to try a few more times to see how she does

i am not going to be able to do this right now, its $50 every saturday for an hour lesson, and i dont have 200 a month to use on sheep herding lessons.. i wish it was like a regular group class where it was 7 weeks at a certain price, but not 50 a week..

Hey, for a mere $30 per week, I'll let your dog chase the peafowl around my property! ;D

dam!! for 30 a week if you were closer i would do it!. yeah, i just cant see dropping 200 a month on training, if there were actual class rates like obedience classes that would be better, but 200 a month for how ever long it takes i cant see doing, now if i was wealthy then yes, i wouldl but i am not wealthy

My Ferdie would have been a natural-pure border collie, those lessons sound pricey though
