Supreme Champion - The Ultimate Prize
For men from the world of sheep-dog trials, whether from tiny remote hill farms or wide open lowland pastures, there is one secret ambition - to become Supreme Champion, the most coveted title of all.
Phil Drabble and Eric Halsall were at the International Sheep-dog Society's 1977 three-day event in the rolling countryside near Brecon in Wales.
After a qualifying trial for the 50 top dogs from the British Isles. 15 were left. Then on the last day they, including ALAN JONES the One Man and his Dog Champion, fought for the ultimate prize.
As man and dog worked the undulating and hazardous course, fortunes constantly changed, expert predictions were defied, until finally there was a Supreme Champion.
