    * Molly goes herding ... [11 pix]

    A friend took Molly and I herding today. A treat for fostering Becky. I hadn't the slightest idea what I was doing, but it was a lot of fun! I was surprised Molly didn't cower in a corner from the sheep... she actually tried to have some fresh lamb for a snack!

    My friend was nice enough to also take pix of me and my girl.. so here they are! (Oh yeah, don't mind my ugliness )







    More coming ...

    Very cool! I am assuming the rake is to keep the dog from getting too close to the sheep??

    Yes, you don't even touch them with the rake. You move it towards the dog to "out" them.

    Looks like she had a ball! I'd love to try herding with Kayla, she seems to have a lot of drive for it.

    That is so cool! There is a herding/intro to stock thing at a show that I am going to in April, and it's open to all breeds. I might try it with Nova and Buck. I bet they're just going to want to play with the sheep, but, hey, it'll still be fun to try

    Looks like fun! I'd love to take Tango herding one day, just to see how she'd be. She seems to have very strong herding instinct around ducks and such at the parks we go to.

    They have ducks for herding at this barn too. Maybe a barn near you has them as well? Maybe Tango would like a job keeping birds off golf courses and airport runways!
