Goodwood was delighted to host this year's One Man and His Dog at the Goodwood Estate. Using the Estate's own flock handled by our talented shepherd Nick Page, competitors from four United Kingdom home nations showcased their sheepdog training skills on the Molecomb House Fields.
Competing in the competiton this year was Shannon Conn for Ireland, Willie Welsh for Scotland, Robert Ellis for Wales - who previously competed in the Goodwoof Sheepdog Trails - and Carol Mellin for Scotland.
Here's some of our image highlights from BBC One's Countryfile on Sunday 17 September. Stream the full episode on BBC iPlayer to see how the contestants got on.

About Goodwoof presented by MARS Petcare
Goodwoof presented by MARS Petcare is a celebration of all that we love about dogs on the Goodwood Estate. It takes place in the fields around the James Wyatt-designed Kennels, which is now the social home of our sporting membership on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May 2024. The event offers a wide range of activities and demonstrations designed to delight, entertain and inform. Dog owners and their families and friends can encourage their own dog to have a go, browse our carefully hand-picked retailers, enjoy a dip in Fido’s Lido, sit back with a glass of Taittinger champagne, relax in The Studio presented by Randox with a spot of soundbathing, reiki or dog yoga, or marvel at the clever kennels designed by architects from around the world in the Mastercard presented competition, Barkitecture.
