We are very excited to announce our main attraction for this year’s show: Mike Wylie & The Drakes of Hazard

Mark Wylie with his sheepdog and duck display team will bring a fantastic crowd-pleasing demonstration to your outdoor event. This show will entertain, enthral, enchant and educate any audience both young and old alike.

You’ll be amazed at the skill as man and dog work together in harmony to control, direct and navigate a troop of fearless Indian Runner Ducks around an obstacle course at your event.

Mark started this show in the picturesque village of Luss, on the banks of Loch Lomond, where he farms 1000 acres of rough hill ground. The shows, together with Mark’s comical commentary, were so popular with locals and tourists alike that it wasn’t long before Mark found himself supplying his premier arena entertainment performances for Fetes, Festivals, Galas, Agricultural shows, Game Fairs and even Weddings all over the country. Distance is no barrier for these ducks and they have delighted audiences from the Northern Isles of Lewis and Harris through the North of England as far south as York and even over the sea to Ireland.

Mark got his first collie whilst still in his early teens and it wasn’t long before he was entering local trials with his loyal dog Spot. All of the dogs compete at sheepdog trials, winning a respectable share of silverware as well as earning their corn on the farm. Naturally the dogs are Border Collies, arguably one of the most attractive and intelligent breeds in the world. Their amazing intelligence, stamina and eagerness to please makes them uniquely adaptable from the hillside to the ringside. The collies can find themselves rounding up sheep on a remote hill overlooking Loch Lomond one day then duck herding to delight a city audience the next!
