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.
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.
Web duties already include the English National and International Sheep Dog Trials websites,
* also this year's Irish National and Scottish National*.
 The International sheepdog trials now has a new website, information will be added as it becomes available. Soon it will be possible to navigate between the 6 ISDS trial sites for the International, the English National, Irish National, Scottish National, Welsh National and the 2011 World Trial.
