GREAT SOUTHERN WORKING SHEEPDOG CLUB Annual Three Sheep Trial 12, 13 and 14 November, 2009This club has reformed and held the inaugural official three sheep dog trial at the Albany Agricultural Show. The sheepthat were used in the trial were mixed aged ewes and proved to be very challenging for all the dogs. A number of thedogs were chased by the sheep during their runs. We actually saw another side of the dogs because they had to standtheir ground to be able to force the sheep around the course. In a couple of cases the dogs had to top not the sheepto be able to get them over the bridge. The results are as follows on next page:Novice: 1 Grant Cooke with Grassvalley Magpie, 82 points; 2 Jenny Nolan with Rocky Edge, 81 points; 3 SimonLeaning with Fleetfeet Axle, 80 points; 4 Ken Atherton with Badgingarra Tony and Rick Janitz with Boylee Ellie with79 points Continued next pageImprover: First: Malcolm Seymour with Glenview Ruby, 77 points; 2 Rick Janitz with Jandoree Dot Com, IvanSolomon with Perangery Beck, & Tony Boyle with Bellview Dale all on 76 points. 3 Nick Webb with Morillo Doff, 73points.Open: 1 Gordon Curtis with Binnaburra Tuff, 170 points; 2 Peter Gorman with Elshamah Ellie, 167 points; 3 SimonLeaning with Fleetfeet Axle, 159 points; 4 Grant Cooke with Pendelup Candy, 156 points; 5 Malcolm Seymour withEuroa Nell, 146 points.
