About the Book
'S is for Sheepdog' is a book written about 3 times International Supreme winner Gwyn Jones, Penmachno. It is a brief history of his life with sheepdogs and an ABC of his opinions and methods of working and training. Gwyn is renowned for his rhythm and flow method of working sheepdogs. His methods of training go back to when the dogs served an 'apprenticeship', a time when they learnt how to handle stock and their adrenaline was channelled into their abilities. There are many 'nuggets of gold' within the book which may benefit both experienced and novice handlers alike. The dictionary style layout makes this not only an easy to read book but a book that can be picked up at any time and used continually as a reference book.

About the Creator
SUE MAIN
Wales
I live with my husband on a small farm in N Wales where I continue to enjoy everything to do with sheepdogs. I caught 'the bug' over 30 years ago and I am still heavily involved with my passion. I have organised World and International sheepdog trials and I am an International judge. I was also honoured to be the first lady to judge the Welsh National sheep dog trial. Above all I was a friend of Gwyn's for over 20 years, sharing his passion for sheepdogs. Consequently, I succeeded in persuading Gwyn to share his life and knowledge in this book.
