Sheepdog Trials & Membership

The Devon and Exmoor Sheepdog Society (DESS) is an organisation dedicated to promotion and organisation of sheepdogs trials in our region, with 150+ members. We run seven main open trials, two with restricted entry and alternate hosting the Devon vs. Cornwall match.

Congratulations to the Southwest’s 2025 ENF team: David Cole & Juno, Andrew Hendy & Bryn, Philip Davies-Russell & Barrowsmead Esme (res. with Barrowsmead Joss)!

DESS enjoys a long history of supportive community and enthusiastic members.
