Love to see shepherds doing what they were bred to do, but isn't that a strange place for a herding trial? I should think the noise from traffic might be distracting to the animals.
That is so very cool. Previous poster is so correct in saying it is great to see GSDs do what they're breed to do (originally). If I were a sheep, I'd go wherever that dog sent me!! Like most herding dogs, she looks like she is having a pretty good day at work.
Thank you! Things were a little too "neat and clean" for her that day. That's why on the final fetch along the fetch she got bouncy and started to bark.
Well, you know, this is what the breed was originally created to do :) I think it's very nice to see examples of GSDs that can still do the breed's original job
Great Job Good to see some one letting their GSD Work the sheep insteady of continually stop them from working. His kind to his sheep and will be interested to see how he goes in the trial courses.
Thanks for the kind words. This video is over 1 1/2 years old. Since then we have competed at the Herding Started Level. We have two legs toward the title. She suffered an back injury in February of this year, and has just started back training. I have high hopes for this one. If all goes to plan, we'll be looking at joining the trial circuit this winter.
Yes, She earned the Herding Started Title in Dec of 2007, and got her first Intermediate Leg this April. We're competing in Intermediate next weekend.
Nice dog. He looks better here than he did in your HT video, you're letting him work with his instincts more. Very cool. He does a nice job of watching the heads.

more people need to let their GSDs herd! After all, they are German SHEPHERDS.

Sorry...I meant "she" for Peekay. Glad to hear that she's doing well in herding.
Do you ever travel as far as Indiana to trial?
SteinbaumGSD 3 years ago
No, We don't usually travel outside of the Southeast.

I just wondered. Dogwood Farm in northwest Indiana is a really great training/trialing facility. It's 200 miles from me, but that's where I train.
