Herding is fun!   Saturday, June 12, 2010

Herding is fun!Supa and I got to train herding with sheep at the end of May. We were in Kuttukuu's sheep- and goatfarm. Itīs situated near city of Kuopio where our trainer Sinikka Kumpusalmi organises herding camps and even herding contests with AHBAīs rules and judges. Both the dog and owner had a really good time, so itīs great that we are going to two more camps and to HTC-test (Herding Capability Test) this summer. We are also going to few dog shows with Supa, in hopes of getting another certificate to her. Supa has turned to 2-years old at the end of April, so we are going to go to charactertest this fall with her also.

Topi is also coming with us to the next two herding camps and possibly to the HCT-test also. We will see how herding starts with him.

Jeppeīs success in dog shows has been continuing; he is now a owner of two certificates. One more cert after two years of age and a passed character test and Jeppe will be a Finnish show champion. In the fall we will go to x-ray Jeppeīs hips, elbows and back. Also his knees and eyes will be checked officially. Before that we are going to see Jeppeīs littermates in Sweden where they are going to participate to MH-test. Very nice to see with my own eyes how Topiīs offspring has been developing both physically and mentally.
