Sheepdog Herding, Wasatch State Park

At the Soldier Hollow Sheepherding contests outside of Park City, we’ll trained border collies tried to complete the course in a set time. The problem is that they were herding four sheep who resisted going through the gates and wanted to graze instead. There was usually a particularly ornery sheep who lead the herd astray, while the dog’s owner whistled to direct the dog. Especially entertaining when the sheep escaped the course and headed down the road with 4 herding dogs chasing them. I rooted for the sheep.

There was Scottish Highland games and dog agility demonstration as well. Love those men (and women) in kilts and the dogs as well.Read more
