Two engaging sets of herding trials. (view trial results)

The Pomona gallery has photographs taken on Saturday, Nov. 7th at the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) herding trials in Pomona. Open to all herding breeds, the dogs must herd cattle, sheep, and ducks. For each species the dog must herd the animals out of a small holding pen, through "gates," through a narrow passage, and into an enclosed pen. The very large Black Angus cattle pose a robust challenge through their feistiness and size. The sheep, elegant, goatlike Barbadans,  with their skittishness and speed, are a much greater challenge to herd than the more docile merinos. The ducks are particularly difficult because they obviously believe the dog wants to hunt, not herd, them, which requires the dog to move with patience and subtlety.
