Working Dog Invitational

Working Dog Invitational

Open to only the top 10 KOTR stock handling Challengers and 10 invited dog trainers, this highly competitive event showcases the intelligence, eye and skills of handlers and dogs.

Locals are saying the invitational event is poised to draw the region’s best dogs.

Anticipation is building for the King of the Ranges Working Dog Invitational. Held over 2 rounds then the final, the handler and dog who can retain the most points out of 100 will win.

The invitational gives working dog breeders and handlers the opportunity to promote their best genetics and showcase their well trained dogs in the competition ring.

You need a versatile and smart dog to compete in multiple disciplines, starting from breeding for dogs which can be strong enough to work cattle, then soft and wide enough to smoothly work sheep.

This is one event for working dog enthusiasts not to miss.
