10 Days and Counting…

Amarillo

Every year for the last  nine years (I think my number is correct) we have held the NC English Shepherd Gathering here at Maple Grove Farm.  This year it has grown to a FOUR Day Event!

I have a Flyer posted on the  Home page and you can read more of the details there.    Or click here for the detailed information  THE NORTH CAROLINA ENGLISH SHEPHERD GATHERING 3

Friday we will hold an AHBA HCT (Herding Capability Test) the cost is $15.00 per dog per run for preregistered dogs and $20.00 day of the Test. PLUS on Friday we will hold the First ever ATTS (American Temperament Test ) here at the farm for English Shepherds and it is open to other breeds as well. Cost is $30.00 per dog (go to ATTS.org for more information)

SATURDAY is THE GATHERING! Starts at 9:00 AM and goes until we all go home! Les will be cooking his good Barbecued Chicken (secret recipe) and Everyone is welcome to bring a side dish or their favorite dis to share along with a dessert (please);) We will have the Raffle and Live Auction! PLUS “THE QUILT ” Will be Raffled off! You do not have to be present to win….But it would be more fun if you are here to win it!:) 

Sunday is the AHBA Jr Herding Test . The cost is 15.00 preregistered dogs and $20.00 day of registration.

We Look Forward to Seeing you all here!

Camping is free at the farm.

We are busy preparing and cleaning and mowing and such! You do not have to have an English Shepherd to attend! But beware it is difficult to visit and not want one for your very own! So come on out to the country for a day or 4 days of fun fellowship and surround yourself with the best dogs on God’s green earth! (well that is my opinion) 😉
