Re: Herding instinct

AKC has regs for herding instinct, but clubs rarely offers it. AHBA (American Herding Breed Association) www.ahba-herding.org is the most popular organization that offers the HCT (Herding Capability Test). The first leg is considered the instinct test. That being said just about anyone with sheep can offer instinct test.

Re: Herding instinct

I did an instinct test with Maddie thru an instructor. It was not a formal event, but part of our first lesson.

Re: Herding instinct

I took Alex for a Herd Instinct Test when he was around 3 years old, so this was about 5 years ago. At that time, it consisted of having your dog on leash, in a small pen with about 6-8 sheep. It was basically to see his reaction. You were given a rake to hold and if your dog got to aggressive with the sheep, you were to place the rake in front of him to back him off. That was about it, Alex got his certificate easily. I don't know if the test is done differently elsewhere, it will be interesting to see other responses.
