SHEEPDOG HANDLING DEMONSTRATIONS

Visit Tweedhope Sheep Dogs in Yarrow, at the head of St' Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders. Enjoy a meal at The Gordon Arms, Tibbie Sheils Inn or the Cafe by the Loch o' the Lowes.

Through the T.V. series "One Man and His Dog", millions of people have been introduced to the ancient craft of Shepherding and thus become aware of the extraordinary relationship which exists between Shepherd and Sheepdog. Viv competed in the programme with her faithful Garry following their appearance at Blair Athol International Trial. Since then she has progressed to International Competition, travelling in Europe, America and Canada to judge and give training advice. In 1990 she represented Scotland again at International level in the Brace Class with Holly and Glen.

Meet Viv, her Border Collies, black sheep and Arabella the pony. To enjoy a sheepdog demonstration, contact Viv using the links below on this page.

SMALL GROUP BOOKINGS - £5 PER PERSON. (EXCEPT APRIL-MAY) AND SOME WEEKENDS

Viv is also available to give demonstrations at shows and events - prices by quotation.
