ELIGIBILITY:
1. This program shall be open to all herding breeds and multi-purpose breeds with herding background as listed following these Herding Capability Test Program Rules.
2. Dogs must be six months of age or older.
3. Spayed bitches and neutered dogs may participate.
4. Bitches in heat may take part in tests, but must wait until all other dogs have participated.
5. Dogs must be sound and in good health. Any dog which appears to be unfit will be removed at the tester's discretion; examples are: lameness, injury, illness, advanced pregnancy.
6. Dogs must have prior training to come reliably when called and to stop (down, sit or stand-stay); this requirement must be made clear to owners before they enter.
7. Owners of participating dogs need not be members of any club or organization.
The tester may handle the dog during first-leg tests. First-leg tests may take the form of a basic instinct test and are fairly free-form, with no set path of travel.
The dog is brought in on a long line approximately 6 to 15 ft. in length. At some point while on the line, the dog must demonstrate a stop (down, sit or stand) and a recall before the line is dropped or removed. A dog which cannot be recalled shall not be let off line. Test will last approximately 10 minutes. The tester must provide detailed comments on each passing form, and spend time with each participant providing guidance and information regarding the particular dog and herding in general; comments and information should be presented to spectators also. Education is of great importance in herding tests.
CCKC will work to accommodate all time conflicts. Testing will begin at approximately 9:30am. If you would like a certain time slot, please let us know. Otherwise, just check in with the test steward when you are available.
