BiBiBi Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 This is a video of my 12 week old Shetland Sheep Dog puppy called Rafferty herding my chooks back into their enclosure:) Such a clever boy! But when I took him out today to practise herding again they knew already and all just went back in soon as they saw my little helper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Clever puppy. Seemed to get the hang of it really quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBiBi Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yes...the breed instinct to herd is there straight away! And of course he is a clever boy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 He has pretty merle markings - does he have blue eyes too? My last lurcher was part border collie and used to herd all sorts of thing, children being her speciality -she'd watch over them and make sure that none strayed from 'her flock' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
