Farmtrial on the 1. + 2. October 2005 in Gossliwil (Switzerland) 

For the first time this farmtrial was held last year. And it was a great success!  Everybody was excited about the diversity of work they had to accomplish. (It was different than the usual British trial). Handler and dog had the following tasks:

1. placing a group of 15 sheep into a fenced yard (away from the rest of the herd)

2. Drive, along a pastures edge

3. across a street (without the dog and the sheep get run over by a car)

4. through gates

5. catching sheep

6. sort 5 sheep

7. drive away, catch up, place them in a trailer. (These tasks can vary).

We plan another on this year and hope that a few KELPIES will register (Last year it was only Mack and me).

This trial is totally perfect for Kelpies, so please register!

Registration is until the end of August 2005 with:

Heidi Ledermann, Solothurnstrasse 56, 3315 Bätterkinden, Switzerland

or at

Sheep-dog@gmx.ch

Please add following information:

• Info about the handler (Address, telephone number, email)

The dog has to be immunized!

The fee has to be paid in advance. 

We are looking forward to a great Kelpie-participation!

Heidi, Mack + Glen
