Shepherd’s Shemozzle

The ULTIMATE Shepherds/Farmers event! If you like a challenge then this one is for you – one for your bucket list and a must do event. A grueling cross country course that is not for the faint hearted requiring stamina, strength, courage, mental and physical ability to complete the course with your Huntaway by your side the whole way. Dogs must be of Huntaway breed or have Huntaway in them.

The event also includes separate Children’s Shemozzle, Teen’s Shemozzle, and Family Shemozzle events which do not require dogs.
