The Sleeping Judge: A memory of Manx sheepdog trials
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2023-01-10

Judging a sheepdog trial can be hard work, especially throughout a long hot summer afternoon...
Ned Kennaugh here tells the tale of the time he was required to step in to help out reviewing one competitor after the judge had nodded off for a few minutes!

This is an extract from a full video conversation about some of the stories & characters of sheepdog trials in the Isle of Man in days gone by.
David Brew, Alan Martin and Ned Kennaugh discuss the greatest handler they ever knew, the most cussed sheep ever competed with, what makes a good sheepdog, the time the judge fell asleep and more.

This was filmed with thanks for the Manannan Sheepdog Trials. More information:
