But he behaved with dignity. A real gent. What he needed was a good Speak Up!

That's me with Castle Hill in the back ground, where I grew up! Joss is trundling his sheep down quite briskly (Bob's advice: 'Keep them moving'), turned them round me well,

and then found himself facing three determined cross sheep who would not go another yard. Nose to nose, he backed them along the cross drive, but we'd have needed another twenty minutes to get round in reverse.

All he didn't try was a loud bark...

Tho the audience was willing him on, we decided to retire gracefully!

We saw working beardies and a New Zealand Heading dog working very well on these notorious sheep, for pics and info go to Working Beardie page.
