Derek Scrimgeour's Ben

This is the cover shot for Derek's new book "Talking Sheepdogs" available from Farming Books and Videos

Ben's a tremendous hill and trial dog - kind but very positive in his handling of the sheep. He is also proving to be a great stud dog for Derek and his offspring are already winning trials.

Ben was fifth in the 2002 Supreme International Championship and has won one of Englands most difficult double lift trials twice. He has also won the Yorkshire Championship. He's a very brave dog and can handle even the most awkward cattle.
