Vashon Sheepdog Classic

Calendar/Event Details

Imagine relaxing in a meadow in the early summer sunshine, the sweet smell of grass in the air – along with a hint of something wonderful to eat. Around you, the sound of neighborly conversations and children’s laughter rises and falls – then a swell of excitement ripples through the air…

An old and magical sport is unfolding before your eyes, and you find yourself cheering at something you may never have expected to find exciting – a group of sheep making their way into a small pen. The gate closes and a whistle splits the air, while a Border Collie proudly accepts her praise due as everyone around you breaks into spontaneous applause.

The Vashon Sheepdog Classic has been providing a chance for spectators to step back in time for ten years. On over 30 acres of breathtaking fields at majestic Misty Isle Farms, top sheepherding teams from across the country participate in the largest event of its kind on the West Coast. Last year the Vashon Sheepdog Classic attracted over 10,000 spectators over a three-day period. Even bigger crowds are expected this summer as this century old sport continues to gain in popularity,

The Vashon Sheepdog Classic entertains, educates and captivates spectators. There is no other place like the Misty Isle fields, and no other herding event that embraces the history and beauty of this sport quite like the Vashon Sheepdog Classic.
