BEGINNER RULES

 

All of the sheep need to go through an obstacle before you can move onto the next obstacle.  There will be two attempts allowed at any one obstacle, if you cannot get the sheep through the obstacle then your run is over.  The time starts once the dog leaves your side to pick up the sheep.  Time will stop when the re-pen gate is shut.   There is a 10-minute limit and you will be given a two-minute warning.

 

ADVANCED RULES

                                              

For the first two obstacles handlers must stay on one side of the pen.  Stepping over the boundary incurs a 30 second penalty.  Once the sheep have cleared the 2nd obstacle, then you may open the pen to pen the sheep.  You must get all of the sheep through an obstacle before you can move onto the next obstacle.  You will drive the sheep through each of the obstacles, pen them and then there will be a ribbon pull before you re-pen.  Time starts when the dog leaves your side to pick the sheep.  There is a 10-minute limit and you will be given a two-minute warning.  Time will stop when the re-pen gate is shut.
