BCA Herding Instinct Test
(sponsored by the Briard Club of America)

Note:

Upon qualifying at the BCA herding instinct test, the Briard Club of America will award a BCA certificate.

In order to obtain an AKC Herding Instinct Certificate, you need to qualify twice, under two different judges, at an AKC Instinct Test. Qualifying at the BCA instinct test will NOT contribute towards the AKC Herding Instinct Certificate.

If you want to obtain an AKC Herding Instinct Certificate, you may want to consider entering at any two of the AKC events offered Saturday through Tuesday at the Creepy Hollow Farm (sponsored by the BCA or by the local GSD clubs).
