Soldier Hollow Sheepdog Classic!

Yesterday we got to spend a lot of time watching the strong connection between dogs and their owners at the sheepdog championship. The entry price was very reasonable and there was a lot of entertainment for everyone. We began our day with watching some amazing dogs herd sheep. It takes a lot of patience for both dog and owner to be able to complete this challenge. No matter how skilled a dog may be we found that sometimes the sheep will just not cooperate!

After the herding event we watched the splash dogs compete to jump the furthest. Dogs of all breeds were able to get a chance to show off their abilities. The excitement of the animals kept spectators at the edge of their seats! We had an incredible time watching these dogs doing what they loved.

Vendors of all types had showed up from artists and jewelers to sanctuaries with adoptable animals. We got to see the friendly staff from Willow Creek Pet Center, (we have taken our pets there for emergency help and are very satisfied with their facility!). We also fell in love with some of the animals from Friends of Animals Utah, a particular favorite was Hercules.

We were thrilled when we got to meet the beautiful dogs from Pawsatch Snow Dogs. The owners happily introduced us to all of their sled dogs and did an exciting demonstration of their teamwork. We got to learn about the different positions and importance of the placement of each dog on the line. They also told us about how they got some of their rescue dogs. It is always good to hear the stories of dogs finding their forever homes. We would like to thank Neal Bowlen and everyone else from Pawsatch for the great experience!
