Join us August 1 & 2, 2012 for a specialty clinic on the International Shed & Double Lift
The clinic will be held at Geri Abrams beautiful Free to Be Ranch, Mountainair, NM immediately following her July trial on range sheep http://www.freetoberanch.com/
In addition to the International, Alasdair has won the US National an amazing 11 times, with 5 different dogs...while the sheep, terrain, and the dogs were all quite different there was one thing that was exactly the same for each championship run....his system for the International Shed and his method for teaching the turnback.
This system has allowed me and many other students, including past National champions, to be competitive at Double lift, International style trials. This will be considerably more intense than clinics on standard competition shedding and each participant will have a 30 minute working slot. It will be divided into 2 separate clinics and you may enter one day or both.
day 1: international shed
day 2: turnbacks.
Working slots Day 1, international shed: dogs will need to be fit and coming through the sheep when asked. Working slots Day 2, turnbacks: first priority will be given to dogs that already have the concept of leaving a first lot of sheep, remaining availability will be offered to dogs needing to be taught initial stage.
The cost is $200 per dog per day (includes lunch). Auditors also please register in advance.
Please e-mail me for entry at [email protected]
Yours, Patricia
