Adventures in sheep eating...

LOL! You tell great stories, Ramone.

Hey... didn't Rotties used to be herding dogs? I thought I read that somewhere once.

Yes they can be quite good at herding which is why I tried it with him. But I wasn't suprised to find out he has more prey drive than herding drive... lol In fact I pretty much expected it.

The photos and captions are super, great job!

I really appreciated seeing the video. I have attended many sheep dog trials; I just never thought about how they start the dogs out. Really interesting. You can see a huge difference in Monty's attitude in less than 4 minutes! There is one really loud "whack" as the paddle hits his face, near the beginning, made me cringe. I'm not sue he learnt not to go for the sheep after that, but he sure did learn to watch out for that paddle!

Can't you just hear the sheep?

Brown Front: It's another NOOO hoooooo bee.
White Front: Don't worry, Maaaa haaaaa will control him
Brown Front: Best get extra dinner for putting up with this all daaaaa haaaaay!



And the rest of the herd in the field behind the fence, all watching was a riot! Didn"t realize they would be so curious ha haa

Agreed. Was a joy to read!

I love the title of the thread as well. Thats probably what our Bunny and Zeke would do. Eli'd probably run in the other direction. lol.

Those are some pretty cute sheep, I might add.
