We spent a wonderful weekend in Kingston, Ontario, watching
the Sheep Dog Trials at Grass Creek Park. This year was the 25th anniversary of
these trials and also the Canadian National Championships. The competition was
excellent, with well-known competitors from all over North America. Of course,
home-town hero Amanda Milliken was the one to beat, and many of the 150 entrants gave it a good try. Laurie Cunningham put on a really great show with
her dog Matt, as did so many others. And Bev Lambert from our wonderful state of Connecticut did a great job both on the field and doing some commentary.
Here's just a few shots of some of the dogs and their handlers doing their job with the sheep.
