In this Episode we meet champion sheepdog handler, Bill Davidson winner of the 2024 Hypro Supreme Australian Sheepdog Championship. Born in Western New South Wales, Bill started his career in the rural industry as a jackeroo and shearer. He has had a highly successful career in dog trialling, representing Australia twice along with winning the NSW Championship four times and the Nationals as well.

Bill was Judge/manager of the recent successful Australian team in Geelong and has judged the Supreme, numerous Ted Gaby interstate competitions, the National and NSW championships. Bill lives on a small farm near Tamworth, New South Wales and works for the Dept. of Primary Industries in Ag. Research. He also has a keen interest in Greyhounds. Bill shares some of his working dog training tips, methods, and insights on how we can all become better dog and stock handlers.
