Top Dogs Take Honors at Iowa State Fair
September 1, 2011
Stock dogs and masters gathered in Des Moines to compete in the Stock Dog Trials August 17 at the 2011 Iowa State Fair.
Titles were awarded in two classes. Open class competition is for experienced teams while Ranch class is for less experienced dogs.
In each competition, handlers work with their dogs to maneuver a small herd of animals through a series of hurdles and gates. The winners are determined by the fastest negotiation of the course.
