She did great; I was really impressed at how naturally it came to her. I was also quite please at how well she recalled off the sheep.
Her first quasi-working title.

Alyssa, I'm not saying your girl is bad at all. I think she is very pretty myself. All I did was answer your question as to why I personally don't like Sven.
Jenni78, I didn't blame everything on Sven just said that Sindy and Sven were banned from the SV for a good reason. I'm also NOT saying that ALL his progeny is bad just saying what he can and has produced.

The herding post was just random, and not in response (or defense) to your posts re: sven.

Lets see... Kerry Southern was there, as were several other GSD folks, and a good contingent of Twin County (we were hosting the event).
My mother actually attended with her Standard Poodle, who also certified.
Several corgi folks were in attendance. Two Malinois.
Plenty of the cattle dog breeds.
One Old English Sheepdog.
A couple of Rotties, a Manchester Terrier, a Bouvier... too many breeds to name.
All in all, I think there were 25-30 dogs there.
There was a definite difference in the herding styles amongst the breeds.
The Shepherds tended to be quite vocal, and most settled into a nice gathering style of herding.
Some of the other breeds are more physical with the sheep; my mother's poodle was most interested in splitting a sheep off from the group and chasing that one around, and jostling shoulders.
You could clearly see the differences in temperment amongst the Shepherds. Some dogs were timid and never really fully engaged the sheep. Others showed a keen interest from the moment they stepped in the pen, and just needed to be shown exactly what to do.
A few good dogs acted as though they'd been herding their whole lives (though I can assure you, they hadn't).
