I think the young dog is under two years but don't quote me on that. Chance, the people are a good ways back and just set or stand and quietly watch. A real wild dog like some of Ben's that never get to see strangers might have trouble.

Just wondering how they judge this trial, I've never seen one and am really interested in it, is it a two dog or single, and is it timed, any info is appreciated thanks.

I think you can work 1 to 3 dogs. It does have a time limit to complete the course, 15 min., I am pretty sure. The cows are turned out and after they croos a line the dogs are turned loose. The dog or dogs must stop the cows and hold them up for a set time before you can start driving them. You then take the cows through a series of gates on the corse and back to some pens. They have someone riding along on a horse judging the dogs. The dogs that draw a good set of cattle and have the fastest time usually wins. I don't agree with the way its judged because it should be on the way the dogs work. No one I know that goes there and shows dogs care if they win or loose, they go for the fellowship with other dog men. You will see some of the best that ever lived there.

I am not going but My grandpa Jack King will be there. He got some dang fine Border Collies. All he does is work dogs and travel the country going to these trials. It is amazing what he can get those dogs to do with a silent whistle.

I had planned on going and entering Ellie and captain but I was working cows the other day and Ellie broke her leg and she is the one that can sure shine on the front end.
