Zigzag hunt (3 o 4)

Zigzag hunt

This competition usually takes place on a steep slope. Three sheep must be pushed uphill in a zigzag direction, between pairs of marker pegs, with the final pair near the top of the slope perhaps 200 metres away. For this work a huntaway dog with a loud bark is best.
