Weskus 1 Dog of the Year Trial 21-22 February 2026
Weskus 1 Dog of the Year Trial
The first trial of the new season was held near Lamberts Bay, on the farm belonging to Herman Burger. The venue was a sand camp sparsely covered with sour fig vegetation, which was heavy going for dogs and sheep. The weather was nice for working, with mist (which caused a delay the first day) and a cool breeze off the sea.
There was a very small entry of dogs so the classes were finished by midday. The Dorper ewes worked well if not pressurized by the dogs, resulting is some high scores.
Our sincere thanks to our venue host Herman, the Weskus Club for a well-run event, and especially to our main dog food sponsor, Optimizor.
