Sheepdog trials are awesome.

Grampian Sheepdog Trials with Frank Gilfeather and Robbie Sheppard was essential Sunday teatime viewing in the 80s. The best bit was Frank's attempts to interview the winner, who was always a monosyllabic crofter who'd communicate everything he needed to say in a simple "aye".

How does it feel to be the best sheepdog trialler in the whole of the north east?
Aye.

Have you been practicing a lot?
Aye.

And your dog, how many years have you been working together?
Aye.

Back to you Robbie.


I had no idea there were world championships, frankly I didn't think anyone south of Perth gave a shit. Laughing

I miss them so much! I've been actually thinking of going to one for a couple of years now, standing on some random hillside full of skittish sheep, terse craggy men and waggy-tailed dogs really appeals to me lately.

Saw it advertised, will certainly give it a watch. 1, because sheep dog trials are impressive and 2, because Guy I am sure will make it hilarious Laughing

We watch the local trials.... Cool

Highlight last year was an errant sheep jumping into the crowd and within seconds surrounded by 20 sheepdogs. All eager to point it in the right direction.

Highlight this year was unnamed farmer who
a) was looking for his dog everywhere, not realising it had started its run
b) had to be shown where the sheep were and where his dog was
c) not having enough puff to command his dog by whistle.

If it were not so funny it would of been sad.


One of the good shepherds.https://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/howlingterror_2006/DSCF0366.jpg

Glad you added the 2she breeds collies" bit.I expected a "I wouldn't say our lasses mother was a bitch but......" joke.

I lost faith in sheepdog trials,yet to see one found guilty Wink

Rumour has it that gumboots are wide at the top so you can fit the sheep's back legs in 'em Cool Thumbs Up

I'll let you draw your own conclusions why you would want to do that...
