All Present.



Watched the sheep from around here being sorted and having a bit of a clean up today.

From that pic, you'd think it was a small flock. ;-)

Haha, these were just the pretty ones!

The Huntaway looks on very self-satisfied. Even if I can only see him from behind, I'm sure the tail is wagging slowing and there is an occasional subdued (in the shed etiquette) expression of authority over the sheep.

This one takes her job very seriously and has been known to "gently nip" any helper :)

KG said...

She did bite one of the shearers, Lindsay. Just to remind him that moving sheep is her job.

We have an ex-farm Huntaway and she's simply transferred her herding dna to cats, people and seagulls. Even Reece the rat was suffering undue stalking until he drew blood from a bite of her nose. Still takes a strong interest in him but keeps her face well averted. Fascinating, highly intelligent, breed. She adapted so rapidly to domesticity (unlike other'rescue'dogs) that you'd almost think it was part of her plan NOT to be a farm dog. High risk plan though given she nearly got a bullet in the head for refusing to work in a pack.

They are lovely, entertaining, warm and just great dogs.
