We invite the community to watch these wonderful dogs at
work at our Fetch Gate Farm Sheep Dog Trial.  A trial is the
ultimate test of a dog and its training.  It is designed to test
all of the skills necessary to perform its daily work on the
farm or ranch.

This is a free event.   Donations are accepted to help us
offset the many costs.  Fetch Gate Farm SDT is a non-profit
event.  

The event runs from 8:00AM until at least 4:00PM and there
are concessions and cold drinks available (Sat-Mon).   
Spectators are encouraged to attend and dogs are welcome
(on leash and under control).  Bring a picnic blanket or a
chair and come watch the trial!  It is a wonderful way to
spend an enjoyable afternoon with friends and family, and
enjoy the outdoors!  
Here is a great

dog trialing!
