My name is Anita Hermes, I am a shepherd by profession. My experience in more than 30 years covers all aspects of sheep farming. There was always a Border Collie at my side to do the work, so I got into training and trialing as well.

Besides many wins and placings on Trials I am a regular member of the German Team for the Continental and the World Trial, about 25 times with proceeding to the final several times.

As a judge I have been invited all over Europe to judge Nationals, Qualifiers and Opens.
