AKC, AHBA Herding Titles; Instinct, Farm Dog Certifications
Title Data. The herding committee transferred all AKC paper records of titles and more recent qualifying run data in 2010 to an electronic database. Contributors to the effort were Ann Witte, Brian Wistrom, and Elsa Sell. The database is available for read only. See log in info below.
The committee recognizes success of Bearded Collies in all herding venues and so include official AHBA and ASCA titles in the database. The latter is more difficult to obtain so may be incomplete. Per Standing Rules governing yearly BCCA awards calculations, official AKC records are the only accepted source of data for AKC herding titles and qualifying runs. AHBA records from the bimonthly newsletter are the official source for AHBA titles. ASCA records are obtained by request to the organization.
Owners are asked to review their dog(s)’ information in the electronic database for accuracy. Discrepancies in the electronic should be reported to the committee chair, Elsa Sell (tillyrusty7@gmail.com).
