EDIT: Hijacking my own comment to plug that, if anyone wants to follow Hendrix on instagram, his account is @HendrixTheBorderCollie
He's pretty happy (and dirty) in this picture because on top of his two chances to work sheep during his runs on each day, he also helped as a volunteer with exhaust (taking sheep off the field after another dog's run) and in the set-out pens (pushing sheep out of a pen into the field).
Trials can be a bit artificial in terms of what a dog is supposed to do, but these kinds of tasks are more like farm chores which he loves. Especially when you're in the set-out pens and are working in tight confines with a lot of sheep for hours on end. He was in heaven.

It always amazes me when I watch any dogs with jobs.
Just curious, do you know what separated you two from from 1st place?
