My friend Angie Driscoll was competing also, with her outstanding bitch Meg, who is a pleasure to watch working sheep. Imagine how immensely happy I was when they won on Day 2 of the Trials! Also my friend Richard Millichap was placed with Dewi Tweed, the sire of my Jai, Yoshi and Suki. As they became 5th, they also were assured of a Welsh Team Membership for the International Sheep Dog Trials 2012! Congratulations to them, and all the other Team Members!
