Welcome to the NSW Working Stock Dog Association Website!
The Association was formed in 2006 to bring together the major NSW Cattle Dog trialling regions in a bid to expand and promote the sport.
The Hunter Stock Dog Association and the North Coast Working Dog Association restructured their operations and together with the support of triallers from the New England area combined to develop the NSW Working Stock Dog Association.
Working Stock Dog trials are run across NSW from February through to November and are held at locations from Camden in Sydney's Western Suburbs to Murwillumbah on the Northern NSW Coast.
Trials are predominantly cattle, however there are a few trials involving sheep.
All trial dates and contact information can be found the events tab on our website.

A huge congratulations and thank you from all the members of the Coolah Working Dog Committee for putting on a very successful NSW Championships.
The grounds were outstanding, food was awesome, ammenities excellent, atmosphere among triallers so encouraging and positive. Without your amazing sponsors, donors and amazing volunteers these events would not happen. Thank you to the cattle donors, everyone is so grateful to be able to work cattle in any conditions of weather but more importantly we thank you for giving up your precious animals for us to work with. We all look forward to seeing the Coolah crew again next year.
And last but not least we show case and congratulate the winners:
Maiden: Craig Ervine - Tarraway Floss. This competitor only ventures out every now and again but when he shows up he shines.
Novice: Peter Rutherford - Mars. A southern NSW competitor, I am sure we are going to see results from the South in many more trials.
Open: Zac Ede - Wootton Charlie. I am told Charlie is around 12 years of age. A mighty effort for a well known successful trial dog. Lovely to see the oldies showing up the young dogs.
Cattle dogs that run and work hard require a high level of nutrition to sustain them through their working day. Cobber offers a complete, balanced solution to keep your dog at peak condition day in, day out.
With high energy levels to maintain top performance, the pellets also contain high protein levels from beef and chicken meat to keep muscles strong. Vitamins, minerals and essential fats are also included to maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat.
