Lessons of a lifetime

Nothing replaces watching a top sheepdog man schooling his dogs and mentoring you along the way. It is breath-taking to watch two dogs work at the same time flawlessly at 900 yards. You can't explain 50 years of experience, you have to absorb it. From Open dogs competing at the highest level to starting three month old pups, J.R. Griffith is a master.

Under J.R.'s guidance, Mary Lou sent Dyna back for a second group up the mountain, but group is a loose term when there is 500 sheep!! If you look very closely, you can just make Dyna out on the stone wall. Can you find her? This is the Boywood version of Where's Waldo...😉

  1. Amazing. How is Dyna handling the pressure of gathering all those sheep, and on strange territory to boot? Missing my lessons, but glad you're having so much fun and I'm looking forward to more blog posts.
