Sheep Dog Trials Catbird Farm, Cheney, Wa

If you've never seen working sheep dogs, usually Border Collies,in action and are in where near Cheney you should try to go out and take a look. The trials are running October 5-7 2019 at the Catbird Farm in Cheney. The owner of the farm also does training and will have other trials so check out their website.  I went and watched on a couple days.  The 4 footed athletes took the sheep through gates, over hills and into marked circles all following the commands of their handler's whistles. Tubs of water are set out at the end of the course for the dogs to jump in and cool off, they really work hard! Really impressive to see. Gorgeous landscape to enjoy as well!
