Wilky 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 There is a sheepdog auction on Friday 26th October at Skipton Auction Mart, 10.00am start. Not a bad day out if you've nowt else on. The dogs are trialled and auctioned straight after each trial. The last time I was there 1500 guineas was the days record and some absoluely first class dogs were seen on the day. There was one young lass trialling a dog though that couldn't even get a start at 25 guineas, all it wanted to do was play with the sheep, which was a shame really, as it must have been up to the job to a reasonable degree, otherwise I can't see any reason for anyone getting up in front of a couple of hundred seasoned sheep farmers to make a mess of it. The dog would have made a good cheap pet for someone wanting a stock broken collie though. It's a nice day out and it brings in a bit of extra cash for a lot of young farmers that fetch a couple of dogs on to supplement their wages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
