Sheep Dog Trails in the UK
In the UK the ISDS still organizes
the National and International trials competitions. Here dogs and
their handlers compete throughout the year, gaining qualifying
points that may find them a place at their National trials. The top
placed dogs at these National trials then progress to the
International Sheepdog Finals held on the 2nd weekend in September
each year. Here some 60 dogs, from the 4 countries of Scotland,
England, Wales and Ireland, compete for the highest of rewards, the
International Shield.
