Working dogs put to the test

The Rodney sheep dog trials will be held on March 26 and 27 at Tauhoa Road, Kaipara Flats.

It is expected that 110 heading and huntaway dogs will compete in effort to gain enough points to qualify for the Northland regional trials.

Huntaways will display their ability to herd flocks across distances and through gates, while heading dogs will be tested on how well they can use their demeanour and gaze to guide a group of sheep at close quarters through a course.
