Plan Now to Attend One of the World's Foremost
Sheepdog Championships and Festivals
September 4, 5, 6 and 7, Labor Day Weekend

    Plan now to attend the biggest and best Bank of the West Soldier Hollow Classic yet! Top sheepdog handlers from around the world are aleady planning their return, with top teams from six countries already scheduled to compete.  Last years Bronze Medalist, Faansie Basson of South Africa said it best and mirrored the thoughts of many when he said "I will be back and one day I am going to win this trial!"
    Visit just once and it's easy to see why Britain's International Sheepdog News called Soldier Hollow "...the foremost trial in the world..."  Going into it's seventh year it has seen champions compete from fifteen countries representing the best of six continents.  These competitors have come to test their own skills and those of their dogs on the Olympic hillside at Soldier Hollow.  You will see a competition that one writer called "strangely compelling," and another called "poetic."  You have to be there to understand the drama that brings thousands to their feet.
     In addition to the hillside championship you will also enjoy our Splash Dogs Dock Jumping Championship (click here to find out how you can compete with your dog in this exciting contest), Duck Herding, the Ultimate Canines Dog Show, Arts and Crafts and Great Festival Food!
