As announcer Art Unsworth says, "Derek Fisher's awesome FINAL run, is truly 'Movie Material.' If I never see another run, I've been part of the "Greatest Moment " in Stockdog trialing ......"

Meeker Classic Sheepdog Trials sheep jumping over a dog by Denise Wall
Denise Wall, took an incredible series of photographs of Jeanne Weaver's dog "Jack" at the 2005 Meeker Classic. The ewe never actually made it over Jack. She tried to jump back with her flock mates after being shed, but Jack held her.

Art Meeker Classic Sheepdog Championship Trials™Unsworth has been the "voice of the Meeker Classic" for a number of years.  He was fortunate enough to capture this picture in 2004 and shared these thoughts with us:
 
 

"I had/heard more compliments than ever before of praise for the event during the Meeker Classic this year.  I came away with a very good feeling of a "job well done" by ALL facets." 

"Attached is an incredible picture I took during the competition on Friday at the Meeker Classic with Dennis Gellings & Jan from Bear Canyon, Alberta, Canada with a lightning/thunder cloudburst looming over his shoulder (note the lightning across the sky in the upper right) it was every bit as close as it looks !!  We finished up without anyone getting hit or drenched :-) "
