One Man and His Dog
Four of the UK鈥檚 top handlers and their sheepdogs go head-to-head for this year鈥檚 One Man and His Dog trophy.
In a small field in north Wales, four of the UK鈥檚 top handlers and their sheepdogs go head-to-head, aiming to claim this year鈥檚 One Man and His Dog trophy. Overlooked by the famous Offa鈥檚 Dyke, the course at Bodfari is small and simple, leaving our competing teams nowhere to hide from the expert eye of the judge, Mike Northwood. Can English outsider Jessica Saukkonen and her dog Gannon or Scottish veteran Sandy McCulloch and his dog Sam outdo the reigning International Supreme Champions, Wales鈥檚 Dewi Jenkins and Jock? Dewi took the title from Ireland鈥檚 Tom O鈥橲ullivan, who is looking for revenge with his sheepdog Tess, so there鈥檚 everything to play for. And we meet 15-year-old Claudia Pattinson and her faithful companion Jean. She got the sheepdog trialling bug when she was just five years old, and in a showcase round demonstrates why she鈥檚 one to look out for the future.
