Bonibraes is heavily involved with promoting herding  for beardies in New South Wales, holding weekly training sessions, bringing overseas instructors and becoming instructors and judges ourselves.   The Australian herding system closely follows the American Kennel Association scheme.   Bonibraes currently has two beardies working at Intermediate trial levels, another three at  Started and four or five working their way through the Test levels.

“Tess” putting the sheep through the cross panels of A course.

“Ralph” learning to keep  his distance off the stock.

Penning sheep is an exercise in patience.

We find Beardies move best when working stock.        There is a job to be done!
