Judges

Carol Clawson - UT
Carol was five when her family got their first border collie from relatives who had a sheep ranch in Craig, Colorado. Although border collies were a part of her life from that point on (even going to college with her), it wasn’t until her son was grown that she started working her dogs on sheep. Since then, Carol has been trialing regularly. Carol was President of the Utah Stockdog Association for several years and served as the President of the USBCHA from 2015-2018. She has judged several Utah Stockdog trials as well as Strang Ranch and Trailing of the Sheep, Cottage Grove and Sleddin’ & Sheddin’. In 2022, Carol and her partner formed SH Sheepdog, LLC and now put on the Soldier Hollow Classic Sheepdog Championship & Festival. Carol lives in Charleston, Utah with her husband, Steve, four border collies, and a small flock of sheep. In her spare time, Carol is an amateur photographer who has followed many of these trial dogs and handlers with her camera lens.
