John Gordon remembered at South Island sheepdog championships

From Morning Report, 6:50 am on 6 May 2022

Many New Zealanders will be familiar with that tune - from the rural television Sunday staple - "A Dog's Show".

The sheepdog trial programme which ran for 15 years until the early 1990s was hosted by John Gordon - who died last week at age 78.

Today's the final day of the week-long South Island championships - where Southlander Gordon has been remembered by many.

New Zealand Sheep Dog Trial Association president Pat Coogan spoke to Corin Dann.
