There are seven groups of dogs recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC): Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding. Group clubs are open to owners of all breeds from one of the seven AKC groups. The group clubs are eligible to hold shows, obedience trials, and performance events for dogs in their group. The AKC recognizes the following herding breeds: Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, Bearded Collie, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren, Border Collie, Bouvier des Flandres, Briard, Canaan Dog, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Collie, German Shepherd Dog, Old English Sheepdog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Polish Lowland Sheepdog, Puli, Shetland Sheepdog and Swedish Vallhund. Foundation stock herding breeds may also be eligible for shows/trials. The Alaska Herding Group Club is a club for the owners of herding breed dogs. Of course, they may have other breeds as well and some of our performance events are open to other breeds/all breeds as the AKC allows.
