  "account": "David Howells and his 19-year-old son, Jack, made history as the first father and son duo to each claim champions titles at the Sheep Dog World Trial. The pair, from Cymmer, Neath Port Talbot, traveled to Scotland for the trials, where David triumphed with his Border Collie, Wyverne Pip, while Jack secured the Young Handler title with Cydros Boss. David described the moment as \"crazy\" and expressed his disbelief at winning alongside his son. The father and son described their farm, where sheep dogs are an essential part of daily work, and how Jack's interest in the sport grew during the Covid years when he was at home. They competed against competitors from 34 countries, and Jack's victory still hadn't fully sunk in. The pair will now look forward to the International Championship the following year.",
