Sheepdog Trials & Dog Festival at Rural Hill (Sunday)

About this event

Day two of Historic Rural Hill's Sheepdog Trials and Dog Festival in Huntersville (Charlotte area). Bring your pup: well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to explore the grounds with you. Catch agility, obedience and trick demos, watch herding dogs work sheep with just a whistle and a word, shop pet-friendly vendors, and grab food truck eats. Rain or shine, all outdoors. Note: Highland cows may be on site behind a live electric fence — keep leashed dogs clear of it (host Eventbrite FAQ).
