Great photo, I think the man in the picture may be the coldest one, two very warm dogs! which are beautiful by the way.
The last known dog to work the sheep died at the end of last year,, i had the pleasure of seeing this dog in the ring.he was a super lad and typical of the breed of yesteryear, he would be working the sheep one night and the next be in the ring,, believe me when I say that takes some doing to go from field to ring wwas a credit to his owner. ive never heard of any others since,, they still use them a lot in america,,but they really were meant to drive cattle to market more than herd sheep, hence the rolling gait , which is the lazy walk on such long journeys.. mine just "herd" me or anyone else in the house LOL huggles b-eye
Thanks b-eye - I found that really interesting. I don't suppose there is any footage or photos of this dog?
