Sheepdog Trials at Wolston Farm

Want to see the dogs in action? Want to see some of the best handlers on the west coast? Want to get started in trialing? Come and join us for a sheepdog trial.      

We hold quite a few USBCHA sanctioned trials during the year. We start in May hosting the Northwest Championship Trial the we have our big trial, Sheep Thrillz, in July (usually the second weekend) which runs for 4 days, 1 day of beginner classes, 2 days of open and a double lift final. The third major one, Boo & Baa, is held near Halloween and is usually the first of a series of four trails in the winter that makes up the Wolston Winter Series.
