More4 will be showing exclusive coverage of the day's events from the World Sheep Dog Trials in Cumbria. The four-day event involves a total of 26 nations and 240 of the world's greatest handlers and their dogs pitting their wits against some of Britain's finest sheep - the rugged ‘North Country Mules.' They are all competing for the ultimate prize - a gold shepherd's whistle and the much-coveted title of world champion.

Presented by Ellie Harrison and Guy Martin, the highlights of the opening heats will be broadcast with in-depth commentary from Barry Davies. More4 is bringing Formula 1 technology to this traditional English event, using mini cams on fences and gates, super slo mo and telemetry devices worn by both the sheep and the dogs which will reveal the speed and efficiency of the competitors and the ground they are covering. Cutting-edge graphics will demonstrate how the handlers and dogs are working together and this will be supported by in-depth analysis from animal behaviour and sheep dog experts.

Countries taking part this year include all the home nations along with the USA, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Faroes, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Finland - where dogs are used to round up reindeer on the tundra and -  for the first time -  Japan and Brazil.

 

World Sheep Dog Trails trials... ... World Trail Dog Sheep... World Sheep... Look, we're showing the World Sheep Dog Trials, and here are some trails. They're extremely cool. Enjoy (and feel free to trail on your own site. Perhaps on a trial basis. Or is it the other way around?)

The World Sheep Dog Trials, Thursday 15th - Sunday 18th September, 7pm, More4.
