Dog Trials Competition (SheepDogs)

Dog Trials Competition
The 102nd Annual A&P Show 2011
Stratford, Central Taranaki, New Zealand
November 26-27, 2011

 

The Dog Trials competition showcased the skills of the sheepdogs and their master against the sheep. It was very amazing to see the teamwork and good chemistry they show during the event.

 

The A&P (Agricultural & Pastoral) show is one of New Zealand’s major annual events and is supported by the whole region and indeed enjoyed by all competitors, spectators and trade exhibitors. There are different schedules of this event around the country and it draws large crowds from around Taranaki Region. This event that I have attended was held in Stratford Showground, Stratford, Central Taranaki, NZ on November 26-27, 2011. The annual show was a family affair because there was a show exclusively for young kids and old alike.

 

I travelled for 30 minutes to witness this fun-filled activity and I really enjoyed every minute of it. The weather was unpredictable and indescribable because it was windy, cold and sunny.
