Vashon Sheepdog Classic 10th Anniversary
June 6-9th 2019 at Misty Isle Farms
Join us as people from all over the world flock to Vashon to enjoy the fascinating world of the working sheepdog. The Vashon Sheepdog Classic is the most attended herding event on the
West Coast and is held on the breathtaking rolling meadows of Misty Isle Farms.
Come and enjoy local fare, fiber arts, and other artisan crafts while you experience this highly regarded national competition. The Vashon Sheepdog Classic gifts the proceeds from the event to island nonprofit organizations that focus on the
enrichment of education and health for Vashon youth.

We are honored to present a very special guest: Dr. Patricial McConnell will be joining us on Vashon. Dr. McConnell will be speaking on the field Sunday June 9th and at the Vashon Center for the Arts Saturday night.
Patricia is a gifted speaker and writer-- one of the most sought after dog professionals in the world. Don't miss an opportunity to see her!
Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB is an Ethologist who has consulted with pet owners for over twenty-five years about serious behavioral problems. She taught "The Biology and Philosophy of Human/Animal Relationships" in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for twenty five-years and speaks around the world about canine behavior and training. Dr. McConnell is the author of eleven books on training and behavioral problems, as well as the critically acclaimed books The Other End of the Leash (translated into 14 languages), For the Love of a Dog, and Tales of Two Species. Her newest book, The Education of Will, is a memoir focusing on healing from trauma in both people and dogs. Patricia and her husband live with their working Border Collies Willie and Maggie, and her King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Tootsie, along with a very spoiled flock of sheep.
