Sheep dog competition
The Sheep Dog competition was so neat to watch. When we went a couple years ago we couldn't wait till the next time we got to see this competition. The dogs needed to go up and get one group of sheep then bring them down through a gate and then to the owner. Then they ran clear up to another group of sheep and brought them through a gate and to the 1st group of sheep. Next they took the entire group of 16 sheep, up and through 2 different gates and down to the Sheep Herder. Following that, the Herder and their Border Collie worked together to get 5 sheep with red collars into a separate group. This was very frustrating for some but others pulled it off very quick. The last part of the competition was to move the sheep into an 8 x 8 pen. This whole competition was a 24 minute process. Some ran out of time and some finished with just a couple of seconds left. The winner the sheep dog competition was 154 points. Wow! If you love watching competitions you'd love this!
Splash dogs
Splash Dogs was neat to watch. You could see all the dogs’ personalities. One of the dogs had to dip its legs in before he competed. Another had to wind up by going in circle after circle over and over again with his toy. The dogs sit at the end of a 40 ft. dock and then the owner goes to the other end and says a command to tell the dog to come. Then the dog jumps off and then they record how many feet they get. We saw dogs jump from 16ft to 25ft. We can’t wait to be able to try it out on Cindy (our dog) She would be perfect for it!
