From the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, four of the UK’s top sheepdog handlers go head-to-head, aiming to claim 2023's One Man and His Dog trophy. The challenging course at Goodwood leaves our competing teams nowhere to hide from the expert eye of judge Jane Drinkwater. Can Scotland veteran Willie Welsh and his dog Cap, or the youngest competitor, 21-year-old Shannon Conn and her dog Yellow Hill Chip outdo England’s Carol Mellin and her dog Pentrabet, or Wales’s Rob Ellis and his dog Todd? There’s everything to play for. We also meet 16-year-old Jack Howells from Wales, with his dog Cydros Boss. Encouraged by his father, Jack caught the trialling bug three years ago, and in a showcase round, demonstrates why he’s one to look out for in the future.
