Sheep dog trialing is an old tradition that started out in the border countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Farmers in the country thought that their dogs could do a better job of gathering and herding sheep, so that was the start of trialing and it has grown to what it is today. In the Scottish Highlands and many areas, the only way to gather the great herds of sheep was to have the dogs bring them in. Today, many good dogs have been imported from the U.K. so we have many great dogs here in the U.S. Today many trialers are continuing the tradition because they love the competition and the great dogs.
