Aled Owen is a master in the art of sheepdog handling. He is a well known and respected face on the international sheepdog circuit, and is now offering services allowing you to benefit from his extensive experience.

Aled's wealth of experience is demonstrated by his success in competition. He has now represented his country at International level no fewer than 25 times. He won the Supreme title in 1999 with Roy, repeating the feat with Bob in 2000 to become the first handler successfully to defend his title with different dogs, since the great Northumberland handler, Thomas Armstrong, did so in 1911 and 1912. His feats include:

Uncle William Jones
with Ci Glas

Being a hill farmer in North Wales on his farm just outside Corwen close to the Snowdonia National Park, he has been brought up with sheepdog trialling in his blood. Aled's uncle, William Jones, won the famous Llangollen sheepdog trial in 1899 with Ci Glas. It was fitting that Aled should win this same title exactly 100 years later with Roy.

Managing to run trial dogs and farm dogs is not something that all can do, but Aled has secured admiration for herding sheep both on the mountainside, and on the trial field - quite often in the company of much more scrutinising judges on the mountainside!

Aled has now also opened 'Adventure Mountain' which includes the Ewe-phoria Sheepdog Centre, Quad Bike Rides and Rally Karting. This is a 'must' if you are visiting Wales or the UK. See the Adventure Mountain website for more details.
