2025 Catbird Farm Sheepdog Trial
We have changed our dates to September 19 - 22
This will allow for a warm up for the National Finals in Alturas, California... approximately 10 hours south from Cheney, Washington.
Depending upon entry numbers, we will try to be flexible with our trial format to allow as many dogs in as possible.
​
We will also keep our trailer camping area open and allow folks to stay until it is time to head south.
​
Rental of sheep for training may be available as well.



By virtue of the internet we can now reach out and get access to some of the best handlers and trainers our community has to offer. Opportunities not to be overlooked.
You can reach Ricky Hutchinson on his Littledale Sheepdogs Facebook page here: Virtual Lessons

Scott Glen provides Online lessons as well. His website is here: Alta-Pete
​
Faansie Basson has a new Online course for training your stock dog: Elfa Dogs
​
Alasdair MacRae has a well established online training course as well: The MacRae Way

As more opportunities appear we'll add to the list.
