  2. They are so very smart, and fun to watch. They work like a machine.

  4. Nice picture. I have always been very impressed by the dog's natural instincts.

  5. I adore these dogs - my sister owned one. Smart as can be. I would love to watch a competition such as this.

    Wish I could have a dog but we are not home enough and it wouldn't be fair to the pup.

    Enjoy the weekend!

  6. I used to work with a teacher who trained herding dogs and she used the same training principles in her classroom on her students! I learned so much from her and I use them myself. Great picture!
