Trunkey Creek 13th Annual Dogpro Sheep Dog Trial was run in cool fine weather, with no frosts but couple of light showers Sunday. The merino weathers used were very testing but good trial sheep, and were provided by John Wilton  from Trunkey Creek and transported by Geoff Gilbert. The trial was judged by Don Bolt from South Australia.

The competition again was of a very high standard with only 5 points difference in those going into the open final.

Many thanks to Dogpro and  our many Blayney Bathurst and Orange Sponsors for their support.

We had a larger than usual number of  entries   this year with 218 dogs and 50 workers entering. Thank you everyone for your support of our trial.

Due to the large number of entries we started on Wednesday at 10.30am and  7.30am the rest of the days working until nearly dark to get through. We had five very long days. We thank the workers for being at  the starting peg  promptly to help us get through.

Many thanks to those who helped us at the trial either in the yards or time keeping.

The committee wishes to thank all those who attended the trial and hope you had an enjoyable time and we see you all back next year.
