Lawgirl Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 The Australian National Sheepdog Trials are currently being held, and I found this interesting article. The dog is 13 years old, and the handler is 88 years old and in a mobility scooter. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-20/national-sheep-dog-trial-championship-canberra/100920652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a look at the results - he did not have a good second round and ended up 22nd. There was a tie for first. This was in the Open section.

amc Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks for the links! I competed in an Aussie style 3 sheep trial over here when a well-known Australian handler/trainer was brought over to California for a clinic and to judge the trial. It was incredibly difficult as it's not really much like our ISDS-style Border Collie trials, but it was really fun. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
