Off to Utah for Labor Day Weekend

...which always includes the Soldier Hollow Classic, the most wonderful sheepdog trial! This is the third year I've gone, and I just love it so much! I guess it's a tradition now. Here are slide shows from each day.

Monday -- the double lift final

Friday I had the special fun of sitting up at the set-out area with Anna, Connie, Charlie and Dan, who were in charge of setting out the groups of five sheep for each dog's run. From up there, the handler's post looked pretty far away.


The dogs are remarkable. This is Bill Berhow's Pete, who won in 2007.
