Would you like to get your dog started in the art of herding livestock? Livestock herding has a long and colorful history. 
Herding dogs have been used to help mankind for centuries.  Dogs have been used to work hand in hand with men and
women on ranches and farms.  It’s said that a good stockdog can do the work of 3 men.  

 Here’s your chance to join others with similar interests in learning how to teach your dog to herd.  We are a herding club
dedicated to Teaching, Training and Sharing our knowledge and interest in using stock dogs with others in the Klamath
Basin area.  This area would include, but not limited to, Klamath Falls, Chiloquin, Sprague River, Bonanza, Bly, Beatty, Keno,
Merrill, Malin, Tulelake and Dorris.

They are located off Henley Road in Klamath Falls.  The set up is perfect for beginning training of dogs and their owners. We sponsor work days at various ranches in the area to practice in other venues and with different stock.  Most of our 2010 workdays were held at Ambrose's in Fort Klamath with beginner, advanced beginner and Open trial level facilities avalable with both sheep and cattle.  Cattle people had the option of riding horseback or a foot.  Two all club fun trials were held in 2010.

 The purpose of the club is to teach and help with training opportunities for herding dogs.  
Our dogs range from beginners, who can advance to intermediate and advanced herding to USBCHA Open Trial level competitors.
