Sheepdog training weekend

On the 4th and 5th of June, a sheepdog training weekend will be held at Nan and Murray Lloyd’s property, west of Darkan.
Come anytime after 8.30 am.

This weekend is for anyone who is interested in learning more about training sheepdogs, needs some help with their dog or wants to learn how to start a pup the right way.

Or perhaps you are interested in sheepdog trialling, and would like some information. If anyone out there is thinking of giving trialling a go this year, this would be a great start.

Experienced handlers will be available to offer help and assistance. And also some inexperienced handlers, like me, just to offer moral support and proof that even the incurably incompetent can enjoy working sheepdogs...

Accommodation can be arranged if necessary
Cost will be $20 and a plate of food for anyone staying the night. Those who just wish to come for the day please bring a plate of food.
Cooked breakfast will be included for anyone staying over night.

For more details ring Nan Lloyd on 97361043.
Or email karuma1@bigpond.com

Come along, but wear long trousers, gloves and some heavy duty pest repellent, because in the wilds of Darkan you may encounter one of these:

or even these:

and possibly lose a finger.
