On Sunday at the German Shepherd Dog Club of Southern New Hampshire Herding Test and Trial, held at the same farm as Saturday, Aiden passed his second Herding Instinct Test earning a Herding Instinct Certificate.
It was raining all day and when it was time for the Herding Instinct Test it started to pour. This limited Jack’s ability to take many good pictures.

Aiden gets the zoomies!
Due to the bad weather we were all cooped up in the car for hours with very little exercise. When Aiden finally got the chance to be off leash he got a case of the “zoomies,” which everyone found amusing! He was easily brought back under control and refocused on the sheep!
In the judge’s critique she wrote “What a great boy. Happy, Happy, Happy”
Woot-woot-woot! With all that you and Jack have done with Aiden it is sometimes hard to remember that he is still a youngster. The zoomies help bring us back to reality.
Congratulations on a job well done.
Congratulations again to Team Aiden! Matt said Aiden must be on cloud nine with all the activities he is being exposed to. What fantastic achievements. We are all so very proud of you.
p.s. I would have been beside myself if Zeta had got a case of the zooms at that point, because unlike Aiden, Zeta isn’t always the most reliable if she gets a little silly! Yes, I know, that’s my fault, I should have that part of her training under control!
Love the Puppy zoomie shot-looks like you are all having a blast. Congratulations
Congratulations!
My favorite photo is the last one….Aiden is SO into his critique (sp) from the judge. Or, he’s thinking “hey where’s da sleeve!”
Congratulations Lynda and Aiden

He does look into his critique and yes he is a happy happy boy!
That is an intense stare in the last photo. C’mon, just say it, I know I was good! A job well done. Congratulations!
Congrats Team Aiden!!! I love his enthusiasm for everything you do together! He is such a happy working dog:)). So glad you shared the zoomies, it really does out into perspective that he is just a pup. … Great Job!
