Herding
	The regular classes at a herding trial are Started, Intermediate and Advanced. An owner may enter a dog in any trial class they deem appropriate; however, once that dog has acquired a qualifying score in such class at a trial it shall be ineligible to be entered in a lower class on that course/stock. A qualifying score is 60 or more points, with at least 50 percent of available points awarded for each point category scored. Three qualifying scores are required to earn each title. A Herding Started certificate designating the specific course and livestock type is issued once the three qualifying scores are obtained, and will identify the dog by use of HS (course and livestock) after the dog's registered name. A Herding Intermediate (HI) certificate designating course and livestock type is the second level, again with three qualifying scores. This is followed by the Herding Excellent (HX) certificate with the same criteria and requirements. A Herding Champion certificate is awarded to a dog that has acquired an HX title and earned 15 championship points in Advanced classes, with at least two first place finishes. At least one of the two first place finishes must be for three or more points. Points are determined by the number of dogs competing. The designation of HC will precede the dog's registered name. Types of livestock include sheep, cattle and ducks.
