[Zephir]

I did this about 2 years ago with Zephir. There were about 5 sheep in a pen. I believe there is a 2/3 minute time limit. The person administering the test will be in the pen with you with their trained dog. He/ she will give instructions to you as needed. You go to the end of the leash, and let your dog do the work. If he doesn't see the sheep at first or doesn't seem interested you can point the sheep out to Parker. Once he spots them, let him follow the sheep. Be careful not to get to close so that he can nip them. Zephir almost did not certify b/c the person conducting the test said he had too much prey drive. I had to show control over Zephir by doing a down stay, which he did on command. I do not believe that this is required in all HIC's. Hope this helps.
