The World Sheepdog Trials in Cumbria showcased the skills of the best 200 dogs and handlers over four days. It is the first time England has held the competition. The teams came from as far away as South America, Japan and New Zealand to take on the might of the established home nations. Caz Graham follows the excitement on Finals Day where the top 16 are put through their paces at the Lowther Estate near Penrith. The teams are scored over a series of rounds on skills including lifting, penning, rounding and driving the sheep. The 2008 World Champion Alex Owen with dog Roy from Wales defend their title but miss out on the final by just 2 points. 15 year old Robbie Welsh from Scotland watches on from the grandstand and there is sadness as the only female competitor, Lyle Lad and her dog Shep are disqualified.

This edition is presented by Caz Graham and produced in Birmingham by Angela Frain.
