They are great dugs
I've known a few lazy ones as pets (even then you can find all the guests at a party standing in a tight circle withouht realising why )
but the amount of work you can get from one that knows its job is simply amazing
This video is a fav of mine

The thing I find spookiest is, how does the leading sheep know where the dog 100 yards behind 150 other sheep, want it to go?

Oh yeah, silly me!
I prefer "Breathe" and "Time" though.

Brilliant !
Sheep are big boggers when you get near... Up in the Lakes in May we were chased across two fields by hundreds of them, all round us, jostling, we had to leg it, don't know what they thought we had, no lunch....
Maybe they were just aving a larf.

Oh indeed. A former girlfriend had three ribs broken by a ewe that got stroppy. Herdwick, naturally.
