SHEEP DOG TRIAL

[web link]

• A Sheepdog trial (also herding event, stock dog trial or simply dog trial) is a competitive dog sport in which herding dog breeds move sheep around a field, fences, gates, or enclosures as directed by their handlers.
• Such events are particularly associated with hill farming areas, where sheep range widely on largely unfenced land.
• These trials take place in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Chile, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and other farming nations.
