What’s Happening on the Day

🦆 Meet the Quack Pack!

Get ready for a day of laughs, learning, and feathered fun with Meirion Owen and the Quack Pack! Watch in awe as energetic Indian Runner ducks team up with highly trained border collies to create a spectacular show that’s part skill, part comedy, and all heart.

Hands-On Fun: Get up close with the ducks and dogs, and see the incredible connection between handler, herding dog, and farm animals.

Learn to Command a Border Collie: Master four simple commands—Come Bye, Away, Stand, Walk—and see how these clever dogs respond with precision.

Herding Hilarity: Guide the ducks through tunnels, slides, and obstacle courses using your wits… but be prepared for some unpredictable, giggle-worthy moments!

About Meirion Owen A third-generation farmer and border collie legend, Meirion has been training dogs since age nine. He’s:

A Welsh National Sheepdog Champion

Former captain of the Welsh team at the International Sheep Dog Trials

A judging expert with experience around the world

A TV regular on ‘One Man and His Dog’, Countryfile, and Sky1 Pet Nation

Meirion’s duck herding shows are fun, interactive, and full of personality—perfect for adults and kids alike.

Meet Iestyn Owen Continuing the family tradition, Iestyn is already an accomplished young handler. He’s represented Wales in the Young Handler competition at the International Sheep Dog Trials and brings his own flair to this exciting show.
