About the Book
The World of Sheepdogs is a photographic tribute to working sheepdogs the world over. We hope that for the many border collie and trialling enthusiasts around the world this book puts form and face to some of the dogs and handlers that most of us only get to read about in the results columns of local newspapers. The book features fifty-two dogs and their handlers from nineteen countries, plus many other photographs of top-flight sheepdogs.
This collection was inspired by a triad of major multi-national competitions – the International Sheep Dog Trials in the U.K., the Continental Sheepdog Championships in Europe, and the triennial World Sheep Dog Trials. This global congregation of the world’s highest-ranked border collies, occurring inside a three week span of each other, presented a moment in time that simply could not pass without recording these working sheepdogs in action and paying tribute to them by way of a photographic memoir.
Fifty-two dogs/handlers featured from 19 countries plus additional photos of other dogs. Over 130 full colour photographs. Preview the book on-line by clicking here. More information and sample pages below.
