Clinic

Patrick Shannahan has been involved in the sheepdog world for the last 18 years. Patrick's start was in the livestock industry and has grown into a full time business of working with dogs, livestock and people. Much of his time is devoted to training individuals how to train and work livestock dogs. Most dogs are Border Collies, but Patrick has helped with many other breeds as well. Although he has been very successful in sheepdog trials, his main goal has been to provide good practical work dogs for the livestock industry.

He lives on a small farm in Caldwell, ID and raises Katahdin Hair Sheep along with his Border Collies. In 1994 Patrick won the National Finals with his Border Collie, Hannah. In 2005, Patrick and Riggs were the National Reserve Champions in Nursery at the USBCHA National Championships. Riggs and Patrick also represented the USA at the World Sheepdog Trial held in Tullamore, Ireland. He is a past Director of the USBCHA and the American Border Collie Association.
