My GSD is not excellent at anything.....

.....but she does everything I ask of her,
and she does it well. From Family Companion
to Schutzhund, from Therapy Dog to Herding.
Now, truth be told, what we did today was
hardly herding, but we left assured she is capable.

We started with some operater instructions,
as Dayna and I had never been with sheep
before.

As we stepped out, I wondered in the back
of my mind if she'd simply charge in and bite,
or if there would be some herding genes in
there somewhere???

I am so very proud of her....it was an enjoyable day.

Oh what a good time. She definitely looks interested in the stock!

Oh, I so wish I could find a place close enough for Stosh to do this! Your girl looks great!

A GSD might not be great/excellent at one thing
but they do so many things well. good luck with the herding.
you have a nice looking dog.l

It's a spiritual thing to watch them do what they were bred to do... She looked great!

There is a herding place near Dallas. I took my little corgi girl there a few times last year.
