English National Sheepdog Trials 2007 - Winners Presentation

The winners over the three days - and the rest of the runners qualifying for a place in the English team to represent their country at the International Sheepdog trials - are announced and presented with their 'Caps' and awards at the end of the 2007 English National Sheepdog Trials.

The three days of the Trial were plagued by wind but rain, at least, held off until the last moment and only dampened the last few runs of the event. However by the time of the presentation the rain had settled.
Due to the large number of spectators, press and film crew, there was no marquee large enough to hold the awards presentaion so it was a damp, open air event.
Perhaps quite fitting as the lifestyle of farmer and shepherd does not stop because of a bit of rain and wind.

This has been an excellent three days of trialing and Border Collie Rescue was pleased to be invited to have a stall and be present. The sheep were worse than the weather and presented problems to all the handlers and dogs. And what wonderful dogs - Border Collies everywhere you looked in all shapes sizes and markings. Good natured dogs watching the proceedings with the same enthusiasm as their handlers, although perhaps with a less critical attitude!

Colliewood Films is a subsiduary of Border Collie Rescue, set up to support the work of the charity and to promote a better understanding of the Border Collie breed and its welfare.
