As we come to the end of the season for herding lessons, several dog and handler teams tackled a small beginner "ranch trial" course at the Glebe. Click on links below to see Madge's round, working with Liz.....

Also taking part was Roxy (litter sister to Madge) as well as three working beardies, two Australian Shepherds, two Swedish Valhunds, two Border Collies and a Kelpie. Video clips of all the dogs' rounds can be found on YouTube on the Mirk4Work channel. In due course clips of the Pyrenean Sheepdogs and Boxers at work will be added.
Many thanks to Jackie, our AllBreeds herding trainer, for her superb tuition and use of the sheep and other facilities at the Glebe!
