A sport that honours tradition
Three-sheep dog trialling highlights a connection shaped by generations of rural life and the craft of good stock handling. It’s a discipline built on skill, instinct and partnership - where capable dogs and experienced stockmen and women work with precision, patience and respect. This sport exists to preserve that heritage and uphold the high standards that define a true working sheepdog.

KEEP THEM HARD AT IT…
For years, CopRice has been a proud sponsor of the Tasmanian Working Sheepdog Association. Their ongoing support has helped bring handlers and their dogs together at trial events across Tasmania, celebrating the skill, training and teamwork that make this sport what it is.
Our working dogs need to be fit, focused and ready to perform, both in the trial ring and out on farm. Good nutrition plays an key role in helping them perform at their best. CopRice Working Dog food helps provide the energy and nutritional support they need to maintain stamina, support their physical performance and keep up with the demands of an active working life. It’s another reason we’re proud to have CopRice supporting our association and the dogs at the heart of it.
