Dutch Shepherd Forum

This is Tala, coming from Austrian kennel and now living in neighborhood country. We are active in mantrailing, where she is doing an amazing job. Beside that I can proudly say we tried sheepherding a few months back and will definetly continue with it, since she is a natural.
Tala is born in February 2020 and is now turning 7 months.

Do we have any more mantrailers here, or doing sheepherding?

Oh my goodness, what a cutie patootie. She obviously really enjoys working and has such sweet eyes.

Bramble, who looks like but isn't DS, doesn't do mantrailing. However, she is learning a similar skill as part of her service task. She is being trained to find only one person on command.

Our next step is going to be scent discrimination as Bramble sort of cheats a bit right now. My son has a distinct breathing pattern, which often allows her to use her ears more than her nose when she searches for him.

Have you entered any competitions?

Nice training and good looking dog.
