Bodfari Open Trials Results
Two open trials were held on Sunday, 21st August - one in the morning and the other in the afternoon with just under 40 dogs competing in each.
Each dog was only allowed to run once.
The trials attracted competitors from across North Wales and England with many revelling in the chance to run on the 'old trials field'.
The sheep were strong and testing but, if handled carefully, they put up some good runs.
Results:
Cyril Roberts from Llanwddyn judges the morning session with some good runs.
| 1st | Allan Von Dinther | Wirswall | Monty | 10 |
| 2nd | JR Griffiths | Talysarn | Roy | 11 |
| 3rd | Aled Owen | Llangwm | Mac | 16 |
| 4th | John Lightfoot | Llandegla | Taff | 20 |
| 5th | Glyn Edwards | Llantysilio | Meg | 21 |
| 6th | Kevin Dodd | Malpas | Bill | 22 |
Sue Main, Bala judged the afternoon session
| 1st | Pennant Williams | Treuddyn | Sweep | 10 |
| 2nd | Gwynfor Owen | Ynys Mon | Moss | 10 |
| 3rd | Wyn Edwards | Rhuthun | Magi | 19 |
| 4th | Alwyn Williams | Penmachno | Eryri Jim | 22 |
| 5th | Ouisel Belghetti | Nederlands | Spot | 25 |
| 6th | Glyn Edwards | Llantysilio | Lyn | 28 |
The winning run was determined by applying the OLF rule with both runs losing a total of 10 points.
The trial was only made possible by the help of several people (and handlers) so a big thank you to everyone.
A lovely day was had by all!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help, advice and great products. I have spent over a year struggling to keep weight on my very active rescued working sheepdog using a variety of expensive well known brands and numerous supplements from the vets. Not only have none of these worked but my dog didn't like the taste.
From the initial call with recommendations on what to try (it lasted over 30 minutes) and the free samples I have been amazed with CSJ. Barney has now been on CP21 Salmon for nearly 6 months and is a different dog. He has put on and is holding his weight; he no longer has a constantly upset stomach and he loves his food!
We also recently rescued another working sheepdog. Straight away we put her on the same CSJ food and again to dramatic effects. As well as the obvious health and dietary benefits we are constantly being stopped and asked what they are fed, both of their coats are amazing. I have no hesitation recommending CSJ to my friends, many of whom can't get over the improvements in the two dogs, especially when I tell them the cost!
