Elite Sheep Dogs to Compete at Ashburton A&P Show
The Ashburton A&P Show, held on October 31 and November 1, will feature the annual trans-Tasman Sheep Dog Trial test match.
Top New Zealand and Australian heading dogs will face off for the Wayleggo Cup, with two teams of four competing from both sides of the Tasman.
The rivalry is always intense; these are the absolute elite of the sport, and every run counts.
Each competitor gets 15 minutes to complete the course, and the standard is always exceptional, according to NZSDTA president David Sheild.
New Zealand has claimed 21 of the 37 contests since the cup was first presented in 1994, although Australia took the title in Geelong last year.
The Trans Tasman test represents the pinnacle of heading dog competition, bringing together the finest handlers and dogs from both countries.
