At The Koroit Sheepdog Trials

At the Koroit Sheepdog trials in very late January and early February
For the dogs and their owners six days of fun
And lots of good comradeship in the southern Summer sun
Six days of trialing of a weather temperature average of twenty six degrees
In the late afternoon and evening always a cooling coastal breeze
Mostly black and white dogs of the border collie breed
At penning trials some of them great dogs true champions indeed
To own or breed a champion trial dog every sheepdog trialer's dream
Among sheep dog trialing enthusiasts such people are held in high esteem
Sheepdog handlers from all over Australia north, south, east and west
Bring their dogs to Koroit every Summer to compete against Australia's best
But there can only be one winner in every class for the sheepdog trial fans to celebrate
And in trialing good dogs do always lose out to the great
To the winners the most of the admiration and fame
In Sheepdog trialing as in most things in life it is the same.
