The Working Beauceron Association is proud to celebrate a fantastic weekend at our recent AHBA Herding Trial, a milestone event for the organization filled with teamwork, community, and exciting accomplishments for Beaucerons in herding.

First and foremost, we want to highlight three Beaucerons who made the weekend especially memorable:

Ube – earning a leg toward his Junior Herding Dog Title (JHD).

Velocity – earning a leg toward her JHD

Ghost – High Scoring Beauceron in Trial, completing his Herding Trial Arena Dog Level One Title (HTAD-I)

These achievements reflect the dedication, instinct, and growing presence of Beaucerons in competitive trial herding. We are so proud to see these teams succeed.

This trial was also a testament to what can be accomplished when people come together with a shared purpose. The WBA board remains committed to supporting the breed and its handlers in meaningful, performance-focused ways, and this event truly embodied that mission.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make this trial possible. Especially to our judges, Peggy Richter and Steven Kilgore, for their encouragement and expertise throughout the weekend. And to our incredible volunteers and contributors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

Finally, thank you to the broader all-breed herding community for showing up, supporting exhibitors, and helping us continue to grow opportunities like this. We look forward to hosting more American Herding Breed Association trials in the future and continuing to showcase the working ability of the Beauceron.

Congratulations again to all exhibitors!
