Who Wants to Go Herding this Fall?

Maryann, our intrepid Activities Chair, is working to bring our favorite Beardie breeder/judge Terry Workman back for a 2-day herding event. We’d have lessons on Saturday and early Sunday, and then offer the BCCA Herding Instinct Test (HIC) on Sunday. Working spots will first be offered to Club members (so get your memberships in!), then to other Beardie People, and then to everyone else.
