Sheep Dog Trials

The collie has always been an essential part of the working sheepdog farmer's life.

On August 14th at the Tullamore Show, the public have the opportunity to see the working collie in action at the American Style Arena Sheepdog Trials. This is a speed completion, run in an enclosed area, in which the handler has to get his/her dog to drive four sheep around a set obstacle course.

Both experienced and young handlers will take part in this exciting competition.
