Less a show to watch than one to join in with — bring your own dog for the have-a-go agility and obedience taster sessions alongside the proper sheepdog trials and displays. Trade stands and vets on hand for advice too.

A genuinely dog-owner-first day rather than dogs-as-an-afterthought, and an easy one to strike up a conversation at.
