JUDGING BOOK

one man's opinion Colin Gordon, One Man's Opinion: An Approach to Judging Sheepdog Trials
$29.95 


Colin Gordon has worked dogs on his farm since he was a boy and has since become one of the most eminent handlers on the trial circuit today. He has represented his country at the International level, been three times Welsh National Brace Champion, and been one of only two competitors ever to have won both the singles and the brace events on BBC T.V.'s "One Man and His Dog." Gordon has judged many times both in the U.K. and the United States; his book reflects his knowledge and experience and is a must-have for the library of any serious sheep dog trialler.  As Tom Wilson writes, this is the book "that needed to be written about judging."
