Mara is one of 6 aussies
here in Sweden who can put
an official herdingtitle
infront of her name. She
started her herding career
at 1 years of age in one of
SVAKs (Swedish herding club)
groundcourses, summer of
2001. In the winter of 2002
we passed in our fisrt and
only herdingtest. We had a
goal to get a herdingtitle
in cattleherding too but
unfortunatly we donīt have
access to cattles right now.
But we hoping for more
Aussies at Svak's localtests
in the future. So we can
show people that
aussies can ba a really good
herding dog.
