Watch these skilled animals handle herds of sheep through a series of gates and into a holding pen. The expectation of each dog is the same: 'To handle the sheep in a precise and efficient manner. The work of the dog should limit the stress of moving the sheep by maintaining a calm and forthright style.' This is a national-level competition with over 600 dogs competing. The course takes places on 30 acres of beautiful rolling hills, as the sheepdogs take on the 'Wiley Willamette Valley lambs.' But wait, there's more--artisan crafts, tons of options for local fare, fiber arts and music! Includes transportation, ferry fare and the big show!
