2018 Sponsorship Information

Our mission is to provide an event that entertains, educates, and captivates people while enriching our local & regional community.  VSDC takes the audience back in time to enjoy this century-old sport on the breathtaking fields of Misty Isle Farms.  There is no other place like it, and no other herding event that embraces the history and beauty of this sport quite like the Vashon Sheepdog Classic


We invite you to partner with us as we welcome people from near and far. This one-of-a-kind event highlights the unique partnership between handler & dog and their relationship to the sheep they care for.
