Just curious if it's okay to enter 'natural' pics in the shows instead of merged pics, or if they are frowned upon? Since the only thing open right now is the General Herding Trials, I'm more talking about those. For the tasks, I'd like to challenge myself and my petz every now and then and not always use merged pics. I'd rather merge them when I'm lacking in time and just want to get entered. Just wanted to be sure non-merged pics are okay. Also, is it okay if the sheep are sitting or laying down? My sheep seem to have trained themselves to sit & down when I ask my dogs to lay down XD Thanks Oh, also, when will the other shows be open? I'm really looking forward to them!

Yes that is completely up to you! I just didn't want to force anyone to do it naturally, but if you want to go right ahead! I don't have a problem with sheep sitting or laying down, though it is less realistic so I will leave it up to the individual judge to decide if it bothers them enough to knock it down a placement or two, but for my shows it's fine. Other shows should be up and running after we get some activity with the current shows, since Nilla is the only one entered I want to rin a few of them and have more active members before investing to much time in opening a variety of shows, Hopefully we will have more activity adn they can be opened in a week or so!

Awesome! Thank you! lol, I might need more sheep if I'm to keep them standing XD Both of my new sheep instantly sits & downs when I ask my dog to down. One sits, one downs XD Really though, sheep do lay down out in the field, so maybe it's not so unrealistic? Just an idea, the forum might get more active once the other shows are up so people can see what to expect. I know I didn't really want to start yet because they weren't up yet and the tasks in the general shows are the same as at PSC (which isn't a bad thing), just not new to me. Maybe open up the Herding Tested, or Beginner trials? I'd also love to see Cattle & Duck shows opened up. Just a bit to catch everybody's interest, ya know Looks awesome though Silver! You did an excellent job! I Love the colors, the banner, the set up, everything!!!

Yeah, propably not with a dog around though XD But feel free to do whatever you like!
Good idea, and I totally agree, I'm just short on time atm, but I can open other things if you think that would help the interest.
Thank you!

I think just a show going in Herding Tested or Beginner (Which ever dogs should start in) would be great! Your welcome, and thank you
