Stock Dog Trials

Top Dogs Vie for Ribbons at Iowa State Fair

Stock dogs and masters gathered in Des Moines to compete in the Stock Dog Trials at the 2024 Iowa State Fair.

Titles were awarded in both Sheep and Cattle Divisions. In each competition, handlers work with their dogs to maneuver a small herd of animals through a series of hurdles and gates. The winners are determined by the fastest negotiation of the course.
