Farmers world sheepdog win No 2

Farmer Aled Owen has scooped his second World Sheepdog Championship in his native Wales after a close finish to the contest.

Mr Owen, and his sheepdog Roy, from Corwen in Denbighshire, were one point ahead of Netherlands rival Ron Snoeck.

He won his first world trophy the last time it was staged in Wales, six years ago in Bala, Gwynedd.

Mr Owen explained there was also only one point in his first triumph, saying "i don"e;t to it easy for myself, do I."

He triumphed this time after more than 240 dogs and handlers from 22 nations competed in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire.
