Herding Instinct Test


It was a fun day yesterday in Baxter Ontario with a small gang of Shiloh's all working on their Herding Instinct Test. It is amazing to see these beautiful dogs doing what they were intended to -- all from instinct alone.  

In alphabetical order the following Shilohs earned their HIT classification: 
-Brooklyn 
-Cinder 
-Paris 
-Tracker 
-Vienna 

Also, just visiting were puppies Matilda and Sapphira. 

MOST participants were able to enjoy the test during a beautiful sunny but very warm afternoon.  Poor Vienna with Kevin, and Brooklyn with Dave however were not quite so lucky - thunderstorms rolled in an made for a VERY wet end to the day. 

Gunner is the proud pop to all five recipients.  Dave tells us he received an extra piece of meat with his dinner last night - perhaps they were serving lamb. 

Congrats to all.
