For those of you who may not be familiar with Viv Billingham Parks: https://stockdogsavvy.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/viv-billingham/

There were other women such as Ethyl Conrad that were very influential, but for the most part sheepdog handling and trialing was considered a primarily man's sport.

Believe it or not, but it was fairly uncommon even as the late 1970s to see women working sheepdogs in the public arena.

Here's a link to a short clip of a German Shepherd and a German Tiger dog in a tending contest. This is typical of the type of work tending dogs are used for in Germany: https://stockdogsavvy.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/shepherds-contest-bavaria-1963/

I can totally relate to that. I was doing contract work during that season of my life, so it worked out well for me. I was blessed to have family minding the home fires.

No reason why you can't. I was hired by the Department of Interior for their wild bison project: http://www.lasrocosa.com/lasrocosahistory5.html
