The annual Meeker Classic Sheepdog Championship Trials began Wednesday morning with 125 teams of dogs and handlers taking part. Participants are from all over the United States as well as Canada, South Africa and Brazil. Above, handler Nancy Flynn and her dog, Bruce, a 6-year-old male, get ready to push the sheep into the pen at the end of run. However, they were unable to pen the sheep in the alloted time. The classic continues toward the finals on Sunday. In addition to the trials, there are a number of vendors on the premises at Ute Park offering food and other goodies. Visitors are urged to take the trolley or shuttle from downtown Meeker to the site on the west edge of town.
