Sheepdog Handlers
Aled Owen
A hill farmer close to the Snowdonia National Park, Aled is a master in the art of sheepdog handling and has now opened ‘Ewe’phoria’, an entertainment and educational centre which has been voted one of the top 50 UK Tourist Attractions by the Independent on Sunday and been featured in TV programmes such as Bargain Hunt and Holiday 2004.
Aled has represented Wales at International level no fewer than 22 times and has won the Supreme title twice (being the first handler to defend the title with two different dogs since 1912).
His numerous outstanding wins include:
- World Sheepdog Trials 2002 and 2008
- International Sheepdog Society Supreme Champion 1999 (with Roy) and 2000 (with Bob)
- 7 times winner of Welsh Open Championship
- 8 times winner of North Wales Sheepdog Society Open Championship
- Winner of BBC TV ‘One Man and His Dog’ doubles title
- 3 times winner of Welsh National Championship
- 5 times Welsh Aggregate Champion
As if working and trialling his own dogs wasn’t enough, Aled is passing his wealth of expertise and experience on to others by judging competitions plus holding training clinics and tutorials at home and abroad, including America, all over Europe and Scandinavia. The training courses are suitable for people who want to compete in trials or those who want to train their dogs for day to day work on their farms.
The success of Aled’s dogs listed below show his talent in both breeding sheepdogs and having an eye for selecting a good working dog. Bob and Gwyn (ISDS 248002) are available at stud and as A.I. semen.

The poo eating has stopped!
Dear Ceri.
I am writing to say a huge thankyou!!!
Our 10month old choc lab has been a poo eater for almost the entire time we have had her (since 8wks old). We have tried everything we could think of seeking support from other owners of dogs that poo eat and vets, nutritionalists and behavouralists - and to be honest, had almost given up.
After speaking to a friend whose dog eats your food, we decided to look at your website and eventually spoke to you on the phone. We talked about our dogs (3 labs - all with different requirements) and home situation, as well as indepth diet discussions, and decided to try your advice (we had nothing to lose as it couldn't be any worse!).
I have to say, we are over the moon to be able to say IT WORKED! (in the first day!!) The poo eating has stopped and her stools have become more normal, and we can now finally begin to enjoy our gorgeous dog.
Thank you so much for treating us as individuals, and following us through a very stressful problem.
We will continue to follow your advice and will be recommending anybody with the same issues to yourselves.
If anyone is reading this and is having the same problem with a dog, dont give up. There is help out there, honest!!
