We went to our first herding lesson today, and it was amazing to watch Rory turn on!

One earred Rory:

Yayz, sheep!

Standing with Ian and watching another BC on sheep:

He was verrrrry intensely watching the other dogs. lol.

o hai:

 

[Ridgeback Guy]

Very cool! looks like he had fun!

 

[Lizmo]

Hehe, Blaze and I just got back from a day of herding!

Fun! How'd it go? And wow, he looks way bigger than I pictured!

 

[Laurelin]

Very cool! Rory is just such a goofy looking bc, lol. I don't mean that in a bad way at all but he's got the goofiest expressions. I love it!

 

[~Jessie~]

Thanks! It was a fun day... it was really fun watching all of the other dogs there... some of them were very, very impressive. There was the cutest little corgi there as well.. lol. It was cool to see him on sheep!

Rory did well for his first time... he has a lot of potential. It's just the coolest feeling to watch him just KNOW what to do.

Thanks, lol. He is a goofball. I think he always has a goofy expression on his face because it's right after he's worn out.

 

[~Jessie~]

He weighs about 35lbs, so not too big... we're just short. lol. I'm 5'2.

Lol, he just looked pretty big in comparision to the sheep.

It is cool, isn't it? To watch them do everything, move to the pressure, read the stock, what comes natural, what doesn't, etc.

Where did you get your wand? I'm in the market for one. I'm tired of carrying around a huge crook, lol.

 

[HurdyBirdy]

Great shots.. very intense look in the first pic.

 

[~Jessie~]

Thanks!

The wand isn't mine; I borrowed it from my trainer

 

[Brattina88]

Great Shots! He's so beautiful - and something about seeing them do what they are breed to to makes my heart melt

 

[~Jessie~]

Thanks!

 

[Lizmo]

The real question is - when do you go back?

 

[~Jessie~]

I'd like to go back in 2 weeks She lives 1.5 hrs away, so I can't go every week. I'd like to average every 3 weeks.

 

[Lizmo]

Yeah, it's hard when it's a long drive. That's how far I drive, too.

 

[xpaeanx]

OoooooOOOOOoooooo That looks like SOOOO much fun!!!

 

[mrose_s]

Great pictures.
I love herding photos.

 

[Zoom]

You can just see him thinking in those photos!

They left the tails on the sheep! :yikes: That's not something you see very often...even in Scotland where they've followed the rest of the UK and outlawed dog docking, they still dock the sheep.

 

[Lizmo]

When I went to the clinic with Blaze, there was a sheep (or sheep) with a tail. See siggie.

 

[hey_jude]

So exciting Jessie! I need to IM you with a few questions if you don't mind... Do you mind letting me know what is the best age to start them? Rory looks so excited- congratulations!
