REGINA — The Open Cattle Dog Championships ripped through the Brandt Centre today in a fast, high-pressure showdown that demanded skill, speed and instinct. Every run tested precision: clean outruns, sharp lines, smart reads, and a final pen that punished even the smallest mistake. The top teams turned instinct and timing into flawless runs that had the crowd on the edge of their seats.
This event is a Prairie favourite because it showcases working dogs built for real ranch life, the ones that can settle a wild draft, move tough cattle, and save hours in the pasture. Handlers pushed hard, trusting dogs that read every move with near-telepathic accuracy. It was gritty, practical ranch work on full display, and every second counted.
For anyone who works cattle or loves top-tier herding, the quick highlight video captures why this competition matters.
