Another great training day! Today we looked at judging, we watched one of Marks past runs, discussing where he lost points. We then headed out into the field to train some dogs ☔️- was lovely to see some new faces today and we hope everyone had a nice time!

🎉One year of The Sheepdog Club!🐑
It’s been an amazing first year — full of progress, great training days, and plenty of laughs along the way. Seeing our dogs and handlers grow in skill and confidence has been fantastic.

A big thank-you to everyone who’s supported the club and made it what it is today.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about sheepdog training and trials, now’s a great time to join us — we’d love to see some new faces out in the field!

Our members have been on fire lately 🔥🤩 Especially PaulnJenny Page-bilton who has worked hard nearly everyday training his dog Alphie from a pup… as a result, Paul (who has only run in 4 starter classes) has won his two latest trials in a row at Romney marshes trial in lydden and at Chiltern sheepdog trials. Not only is Paul on a roll, many of our other members have done incredibly with their dogs lately

At lydden:

Charlie English-Enzo 4th place
Sean Alexander-Stripe 5th place
Grace Gower-Ivy 6th place (aswell as 2nd,3rd and 5th in open)
(In novice)
Paige Misselbrook-Ice 2nd place

At Chiltern:
