2007 National Sheepdog Finals - Gettysburg, PA - Sept. 2007

[Deb Mickey]

I know some mention of this has been made, but now the Finals web page is up and more info is available.

 

Every year the United States Border Collie Handlers Association (USBCHA) and the American Border Collie Association (ABCA) sponsor the National Sheepdog Finals, the pinnacle of sheepdog trialing in the U.S.

 

For six days the top dogs and handlers from the U.S. and Canada compete for the title, which only one can win, of ?National Sheepdog Champion?.

 

The National Sheepdog Finals move throughout the U.S. It has most recently been held in Lebanon, TN, Sturgis, SD, and, in 2006, in Klamath Falls, OR. The last time the Finals were in the East was in late 1990's, when they were held in Virginia. Needless to say, those of us in the East are thrilled the Finals will be in Gettysburg in 2007!

 

The Finals invite the public to see the ?best of the best? in sheepdogdom and visit the commercial Vendors, see the arts and crafts, watch various demonstrations and enjoy plenty of terrific food.

 

The Finals can also use your help! If you'd like to help out, click the *Volunteers* link on the web page.

Hey Deb,

 

I know I'm on the wrong side of the country now, but I'd be happy to help out on your committee and I hope to be at the Finals next fall (to watch, not run).
