HorsehairBraider Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 I've seen this and thought it was really funny. How amazing that the dogs and herders had such good control of the sheep!

Suze Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 there is a gentleman here that does "herding demos" with ducks instead of sheep --- the dogs are VERY well trained (sometimes so are the ducks - one year the ducks knew the pattern so will that the dog just laid in the middle of the ring and barked at them and they ran the pattern - smart dogs those border collies) "Daddy" was not real happy with the dog..... Thats about the time he started bringing more than one set of ducks. no go here and see what other silly people do with sheep...... http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-dye-a-sheep...000000002240583 Quote Reality is for people who lack imagination Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~Henry Ford

Members wildrose Posted March 20, 2009 Members Report Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks Suze! I love watching dogs work sheep like that, even when it's "commercialized". It never ceases to amaze me. I've actually seen dogs herding ducks, both in PA at the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, and here in Radford at Highlander Days. Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com

Sheep PONG!I took your advice on putting my coffee down before opening that movie, but you never warned me about passing donut through my nose! Quote
Suze Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 I loved the "fireworks" display at the end--- especially when they sent the dog out with a little spot on it''s butt.....

Members Vikti Posted March 21, 2009 Members Report Posted March 21, 2009 I have a friend whose new husband is a sheep herder outside of Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm going to send this to him to see if he can do better. Funny as heck though Damon Quote
