One Man and His Dog

Four National Teams - England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales - compete to be crowned 2011 Champions in the Young Handlers, the Brace and the Singles rounds.

The Young Handlers, all of whom are under the age of 18, take to the field first, setting the pace and the standard for the rest of the competition.
