I listened to that .. how interesting was he. It reminded me of a lovely DVD I've got somewhere called something like "A year in the life of a shepherd. That was down on the Devon coast, but same sort of shepherding.

Thanks for the tips. Will listen. How pretty is that countryside?

I enjoyed his descriptions of what the dogs have to do ..up & over those mountain s ! :)

[dogbesotted]

one of the wonderful aspects of shepherding is being able to observe the dogs and the flock in minute detail.. the tiniest movements can have enormous meaning if only we took the time to take note. But in this fast world we have become impatient and many/most have lost the ability or the wish to just observe, just drink in your surroundings.

I enjoyed the broadcast.

That was a brilliant interview, I was intrigued about a particular breed of dog that could go up on the mountains and know when to bring sheep back home, just brilliant
