For the Herding Instinct Test, dogs need have NO training on stock. Any dog endangering stock by biting or excessive chasing will be excused.

Any dog showing aggression toward people in or out of the ring will be asked to leave the grounds.

All dogs must have proof of current rabies vaccination available for inspection if requested. If your dog is showing any signs of illness or just not feeling well, please do not bring him/her.

Bitches in heat may take part in the test, but must wait until all other dogs have participated.

Dogs must be on leash at all times except while competing. For their safety, children must be under supervision at all times, and not allowed to run around the farm or climb on fences or equipment. Unruly children will be asked to leave the grounds.

You will be assigned a fifteen-minute time period. Please check your confirmation and be on time. We strongly suggest you plan to arrive at least ½ hour before your scheduled time, to allow for absences and dogs who do not use the entire 15 minutes they are allotted.
