It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.
A very cute dog

I know for sure!
The lady that brought him to the show was walking very proud with him and every time we saw her (more than 4 times) tere were other people hugging and looking at the dog -

Because I first want to add another basenji. And because they love to bark…........ Maybe in a couple of years.. as an agility dog

Is this a new breed? Or a rare breed. I have never seen on at the dog shows I attend.

It's a rear breed, it's similar as the Pumi
-
Actually it is the same family of the Puli - the Mudi I think came first and then the corded Puli. The Pumi is a cute cute breed too.

I had to look up a picture of a Pumi after this past weekend. And a Lackinois.
The Mudi is cute too.
