Photo / Supplied Otago Daily Times Two North Canterbury dog triallists were surprised to win North Island titles last month. Grant Plaisted, of Waikari, and Mike "Bones" Evans, of Greta Valley, have been travelling up to the North Island sheep dog championships together for years, but have never brought back the silverware - until now. The straight hunt final was won by Plaisted and his dog Coke, while Evans and his dog Dawn won the short head and yard.
