Kilkenny artist will raffle artwork to support Sheepdog Trials

Hot on the heels of the sheepdog trials in Thomastown in Kilkenny, the International Sheepdog Trials are being held in Blessington, Co. Wicklow this  year, commencing September 8 and with the big finale on Sunday the 10th.

The  International Sheepdog Trials is a yearly competition which rotates between  Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England and it demonstrates the natural  ability of the sheepdog and the partnership between man and dog. This year sees  Blessington host the most prestigious trophy in the calendar of events for  sheepdog trialists. 

 Local Kilkenny artist Krisztina Rozanich has donated a piece of art specifically  created for this event. Krisztina, in addition to being an artist, is an avid sheepdog trialist and sheepdog trainer.
