There's also the ASCA and UKC. I forgot about them. You never know what might be in your area. Plus, if I were you, because you're so close, I'd check out the AAC too, which is in Canada. You might choose to compete in Canada too. You never know!

I think you will probably have a lot of choices in Minneapolis! I would start by going to organization web sites. Look up competitions in your area and see what groups are hosting the events. Then contact the hosting group about joining, training, etc. For agility I'd look up AKC, NADAC, CPE, USDAA, and TDAA (Teacup). For herding I'd look up AKC and AHBA. There are also Yahoo chat groups for these organizations. You can join those groups and ask for suggestions too.

Good luck!

Hello Susan,

3 is no problem because they are my teachers. . .this is the first time I've had Corgis too and once I got Sid. . .I was addicted. . .that's when I decided to get Babs then Cloe. . . .I only wish I could get more but my city says 3 cats and 3 dogs are my limit. . .Oh yes, friends tell me I should just get more and take my chances I won't get caught but the thought of that sends chills up my spine. . .I could NEVER get rid of my babies if they came in and cited me for it. . .I'll be happy with my 3 and like they say grin and bare it. . . .someday maybe the laws will change??? yeah, WHEN PIGS FLY!!!. . . .LOL
