Sheepdogs & sheep.

I have got 2 weeks holidays now and I started them this morning. At 9:00 AM.
I visited a sheepdog training for beginners.
And YES I took Emma with me, but of course she didn´t herd the sheep.
It was amazing to see the trained sheepdogs working. Almost as amazing as seeing the trained ones, was seeing the beginners. Most of them (90%) were Border Collies.
After a few minutes every dog knew, what he was supposed to do.
There genes told them exactly what to do. Even if their parents didn´t herd.

I also had really nice conversations with the handlers and the trainers.

Border collies are fascinating dogs. I do love this breed.

I hope it stops snowing, because our agility training starts tomorrow.
That is the best way to have holidays.
