IT'S TIME TO HERD THE WOOLIES!WHAT: Members of the ISSDC SE Region are getting together at Keepstone Farm in March and April to take group herding lessons for their Shiloh Shepherds from Susan Rhodes. If you attended the ISSDC Herding Trial last November you will be familiar with Keepstone Farm and Susan. For those unfamiliar, Keepstone Farm is where the Fab Five Shilohs (who earned AHBA acceptance/recognition for the Shiloh Shepherd breed) trained.
Members are getting together as a "group," however, lessons are taken per individual dog, are hands on and are 20 minutes long per dog. If you are interested in attending, want to reserve a spot or have any questions, please contact Marti Nottingham for further information and/or clarification.
WHEN:
March 7th – lessons begin @10am
March 21st – lessons begin @10am
April 26 – lessons begin @ 1pm
WHERE:
Keepstone Farm, 412 Russell Road, Berryville, VA.
(From Rt 660, go 3/10 mile, turn Right at large Keepstone Farm sign (Dog Gone Healthy sign below). Follow farm lane to left turn at #412, and go to end of Driveway.

WHY:
Well, to see your Shilohs turn on, work and hone their instincts. Folks may come out and check out a lesson first to decide if they would like to try their hand at herding. Secondly, who ever needs an excuse to get together with other Shiloh Shepherd owners! But all dog breeds are welcome — just contact Marti Nottingham to reserve your spot.
HOW MUCH:
Our group rate is $25 for a 20 minute lesson.
This is a great opportunity to take lessons in a laid back, fun environment all the while enjoying the camaraderie of other Shiloh owners.
