Nidderdale Sheepdogs
Welcome to the site about the sheepdogs belonging to Kim Gibson, Nidderdale being a prefix registered with the International Sheep Dog Society. Committed to training sheepdogs for farmwork and sheepdog trials, the aim is to provide opportunities that maximize a dog's working potential. My partner Simon Poulter farms in Nidderdale and my mother Sandra Gibson trials her dogs in South West Wales. Our dogs have very similar bloodlines as we often share a litter of pups, picking the one that we like best.
A 'work in progress', this site will be built into a valuable resource of information (eventually) on the training, working and trialling of our dogs.
ISDS Archive and website
Dedicated to recording the history of sheepdog trialling, another site is planned to bring together interesting aspects of this much enjoyed pastime. It includes reporting the present, from local trials to the Nationals, the International and the World Trials. Reports are published in the International Sheepdog News, the bimonthly magazine of the I.S.D.S.
Update March 2011 - The ISDS is fully supporting the construction of an Archive dedicated to its 100 year history.
ISDS Trial websites
Web duties include co-ordinating the Trial websites for the ISDS., and this year updating the sites for the International, the Irish National and Scottish National. Suzy Woolston will update the English National site, and Lisa is updating the Welsh National site.
 It is now possible to navigate between the 6 I.S.D.S. trials sites, just enter one site, and use the top bar to get to any of the others, including the 2011 World Trial.
