The sagacity of a. dog that won the North Island championship at Hawera in 1918 was recalled by the win a Hawera by Mr AV. W. White (Napier) of another North Island title. Mr White s win ill 1918 was the result of a remarkable o cuirenee, possibly without parallel. In the short head-and-yard event on the property of Mr D. J. Willis, Opoke Downs, Owd Boy, owned by Mr White, was competing. The famous dog had a good run to the yard, but found one of the t..ree sheep obstinate, and it stood in the gate inmovable. Dog and sheep stood nose to nose, the sheep refusing to enter the yard, the dog knowing that a wrong move would mean the loss of the two sheep already home. Minutes passed, with the two animals motionless. Just on the stroke of time Owd Boy put up a. paw and stroked the sheep down the face. The sheep backed into the yard, and the championship was won.
