Heaps of sheep to test triallists

It is man and dog versus sheep all week at the Whangara dog trialling club ground for the TUX North Island Championship Trials.

There are 70 locals in the competition which has entrants from all over the North Island as well as around 50 from the South Island. Top triallists will go on to compete in the South Island and New Zealand Championships, to be held in Gore next month.

Every competitor gets three fresh sheep and with around 200 entries for each event, there will be close to 5000 used over the week. MORE>>
