“Lucas” showed his powerful drive the first time he entered the sheep herding ring for his herding instinct test. According to the AKC Herding Instinct Evaluator, Susan Rhoades, Lucas sustained interest, worked silently, readily adjusted temperament and balance to the sheep’s movement and kept stock grouped. Two other Halcyon entries also passed the instinct test–CH Halcyon’s Willy Wonka and Halcyon’s Valentino.

Mohner’s Legacy for Halcyon, “Julie,” took a dim view of those smelly creatures.
