Featured trials We are often asked which would be the best trials for the visitor. Now, you don't have to ask - we have selected the most visitor friendly trials as Featured Trials - follow the link next to the trial date, or go direct to the Featured Trials home page.

Qualifying points for National trials Note that it is now a Rule For Trials that an Open Qualifying Trial must have been advertised either on the ISDS website for at least a week before the trial, or in the local agricultural press with publication on a date before the trial. The wording for Ireland is slightly different, but means the same thing, but if you are from the South the agricultural press is defined as the ‘Farmers Journal’ only. Please note that if you make an error in the placing of an advertisement (for example the date or location is wrong) this would not be a valid advertisement. The ISDS will not be liable for any omission or errors in the advertising of trials on the ISDS website, howsoever caused. The placer of the advert is solely responsible for checking that the advert appears in time and as they intended.

To check when an open trial was added to this page, look at the code below the trial, which shows the month and day it was added - eg 0310 indicates March 10th. Where no code is shown for an open trial, it was listed on this page on or before January 1st 2011.

With regard to which open trials do qualify for points, it has now been clarified that an Open Qualifying Trial may not be a part of a novice or nursery trial, and the points for a dog must have been gained in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales. The existing rules also hold in that it must be open to all with no unreasonable restriction or qualification, either geographical or any other way. A minimum of 25 dog must compete at the trial. The course must be a National style course that includes a drive element.

Please email details of your trials as soon as possible to trialsnews@isds.org.uk, giving date, venue, how to get there and postcode if possible (for Sat Nav users), type of trial (Open, Novice, Nursery, Brace etc), whether entries are on the field or in advance, and a contact phone number (and email if available). Please check to make sure that the details are correct and advise of any changes as soon as possible. We wish every organiser, handler and visitor good weather and good sheep!
