Dude is a three-year old male, handled by Gordon Watt, originally from Ireland and now living in Illinois. Dud is a young dog running in open for the first time this year. He competed in the USBCAH 2021 Nursery trials and is on his way to the open finals this year. He is a strong dog and Gordon is excited about his future.
Due to the nature of this event and the large crowds, spectator animals are not allowed at the Soldier Hollow Classic Sheepdog Championship & Festival.
Only animals involved in the Sheepdog competition, animal-based demonstrations, and service animals will be allowed access into the event. Should spectators arrive at the event with their animals, and it is not a leashed service animal, they will need to take their animals home prior to entering the event.
