              Event Description:

              The community is invited to come watch the exciting action at the 2022 Texas Sheep Dog Association (TSDA) Finals!

              Through a system of awards and sheep dog trials, TSDA encourages the continual development of better stock dogs and their applied use on modern farms, ranches, and livestock operations.

              Every year over 120 dogs and their handlers gather for the State Finals to compete for individual championships in one of five classes ranging in skill level from Novice to Open, the most advanced level.
