ABHCWW D Course Trial

Posted byAll Breed Herding Club of Western WashingtonPosted inUncategorized

We had perfect weather June 23-25 for the club’s D Course (sheep) and A Course (ducks) trial. Thanks to judges Rochelle Stanford-Dias and Connie Gohl, and to Packleader Farm for hosting the trial. Congratulations to all of the competitors, especially to the HIT/RHIT winners, shown below, and to our friend Hamlet for finishing his AKC Herding Championship. When confirmed he will be the first AKC dual champion (herding and conformation) Samoyed in history. Full marked catalog can be found on the 2023 Events calendar. In November the club will host another D course trial, with 3 trials in two days – see details on the calendar.
