My community hosted the North America sheepdog championships last weekend. We watched the finals - the dogs are amazing. On their own, they fetch sheep - rounding up two groups of 10 sheep that are about a half mile away - each group distantly separated from each other. They herd the two groups through some gates, and bring them together. Then they work with their handler to shed the sheep - separating 5 marked sheep from the rest of the herd - and then they drive them into a pen. As a spectator sport - its not exactly action-packed, but its worth checking out if you have never seen it before.
