How I love to see BC`s at work. Thank you for sharing us. Great pictures. And very interesting. It looks like you trained for a trial.

 

I also love it when a cattle dog does what he was born for - herding.

 

My BC works sheep, ducks, cows and Bulls.

Robin French & Spottie and Donald McCaig & June placed in the top 6 but we can't remember were. The first Nursery class was not finished on Saturday and we did not go today.

 

The sheep are North Country Cheviot crosses.

Hello everyone,

 

Great photos, Mark! I was at Edgeworth today, but I don't think that anyone took pictures (drats!).

Mark is correct about the sheep being Cheviot crossbreds (of course), and some of the Edgeworth sheep show characteristics of their sire, a Bluefaced Leicester ram. This is especially apparent in the ewe closest to the handler in the photo of Carla and Emma. Those long ears are one reason why this cross is called a "Cheviot Mule".

 

Regards to all,

Argh. Somebody had her cell phone switched off, therefore we missed a chance at sheep lessons this weekend, and now you have to post those :mad: :rolleyes: .

 

But thanks for sharing anyway! Great dogs and great pictures (and handsome sheep)!
