HGH Herding list - New! - Page 1

Currently, there are many discussion lists for GSDs or for herding but none for HGH herding with GSDs. Thus, the idea was born that I, Ulf Kintzel, run such list myself with the help of other HGH enthusiasts. If I can generate enough interest I would attempt to run such discussion board. It would be for HGH herding and any tending as far as it relates to HGH herding in some broader sense i.e. Course C if it used for HGH preparation. It will be for GSDs and breeds suitable for tending sheep such as Belgian Sheepdogs (all varieties), Briards, and Beaucerons to name a few.

Here is what it is not going to be: a platform for AKC herding, a platform for herding breeds other than tending breeds. Of course, any herding discussion that gives historical perspective or is used for reasons of comparison or discussion relating to the organizations that offer HGH (SV, UScA, WDA) or bloodlines suitable for herding will be encouraged even if it has nothing directly to do with HGH herding. Opposing views are welcome. However, rules regarding personal conduct will be strict. People who are interested in participating or joining will need to do so with their real name.

A group of HGH herding enthusiast and I have taken the first steps towards such list. So, if you think that is a good idea please e-mail me privately and we will take it from there.

hi, can people cross train schutzhund and herding? Someone told me it is not possible because of the use of the walking stick with the herding dogs.

thanks,

cindy

Yes, that can be done. The use of the crook in herding can indeed have an effect on the dog when the stick hits are used in SchH but that is only temporarely. There are many SchH and HGH titled dogs out there, several dogs of my breeding have both.

I have also been told that it would be advisable to title a dog first in HGH, then in schutzhund, instead of the other way around. Would you agree with that Ulf?

It can be seen either way. I prefer SchH first, then HGH but it has been done the other way around many times as well. I think it is a matter of personal preference.

These questions are all good questions for that new and upcoming list of mine, don’t you think?

Ulf
