Herding instinct test

Higher Quality version coming soon.
Archie, Phil and I drove out to Okotoks for a Herding Instinct Test by Louanne Twa. She was great, had lots of cool things to say, and thought Archie did very well. I was standing there praying he didn't eat any sheep. Phil took video (awesome video!!) and Archie thought this was a great game. We might do a few lessons before we head back home!
The event was to support the Canadian Agility Team (http://www.canadianagilityteam.com/) and we had a great time!

Fun stuff! What kind of dog is he?

@BCTexasRanger He's a mix from the SPCA, but I'd say mostly Border collie with a little "other stuff" thrown in. Sorry to hear about Ranger. His videos are really neat.

@hdsheena Well he is super cute! About Ranger, thanks. I appreciate that!

This is very cool - very definitely herding But like always, I couldn't stop after just watching one so I had to watch the terrier too. It was just like I imagine my dogs would do...alternating behavior...eat poop and then chase a sheep to see it run.
