This weekend we took a day trip to Purina Farms just outside St Louis, MO. During the Miniature American Shepherd Club of the USA’s National Specialty Show they held herding trials and afterwards they held Farm Dog Certifications. Similar to CGC’s, they are designed to assess a dog’s ability to tolerate regular farm chores and situations around a farm atmosphere. We were tested on sheep as our livestock and they could show interest but not be overly interested. Additionally, they had to remain calm, responsive, and under control the entire time. Both Myst and Grizz were entered and they both passed with flying colors. As usual, Grizz soaked up lots of attention and love while Myst maintained her usual distance and utilized her RBF to keep people at bay ;)
