I am happy to report that Danke earned her HIC/HCT today, and had a blast to boot.
I would highly recommend it to ANYONE! Your dog will love you for it. If you ever have the chance to go to Ewe-topia and herd with Joe Kapalos, don't pass it up. Joe was fantastic.
Danke took to herding right away- I'm tickled pink with her performance, and she's absolutely in love with those sheepie-things.

That's great Alyssa -
I took Storm herding last year and he totally ignored the sheepie-things! I think I overdid the whole ignore the running animals thing when he was a pup.
Congrats! I have been searching for a place where I can train herding with Loki cause I know he would love it, but there is nothing in the area I live in that offers those services I often feel bad for him to have to live in a town cause he's a ranch dog at heart
Congratulations to bot of you! Herding is a lot of fun :-) So you were able to do both legs of the HCT? It is nice when you have two judges there on the same day to qualify under :-) Did you do an AKC HIC as well?
