We were so pleased to meet Lynn Leach, invited guest tutor for a very special all-breeds herding clinic held at the Glebe, all the way from Canada to give us the benefit of her great experience. Beardies were well-represented, including our Beattie.....

 ......who has much to learn after forsaking the sheep field for the show ring for most of the last year!

 .....and of course Diva, who was in her element displaying what she has learned, and getting to grips with some new concepts too!

 Also taking part were Pyrenean Sheepdogs, Swedish Vallhunds, German Shepherds,  an Australian Cattle Dog, a Kelpie, and some very nice Boxers, as well as the usual Border Collies, and we were all fascinated watching as Lynn expertly tailored her training methods to get the very best from each dog and handler

Many thanks to Jackie for organising the Clinic,and to Lynn for her tireless enthusiasm, what an amazing lady!
