Great action shots Phil, especially #2. What wonderful control!

Thanks Sylvia, if I had been shooting bursts, the next frame of #2 would have shown the sheep saying " OK,OK...what ever you say...."

Thanks Jan! The sheep dog trial season is nearly over and I'm feeling like I did not get enough time with these wonderful creatures.

I guess I am not alone in my choice of #2 as the best of this series. I never knew sheep could be so aggressive. Great standoff.

Thanks Jan, I don't print much but #2 is a definite candidate. It was a cool moment... and then the sheep decided to be a sheep again!

When I watch them at work I believe I can see them one step ahead, physically and mentally, of the sheep. They are a joy to watch! Thank you for the kind comment Donna.

Very nice, Phil and once we owned a beloved border collie and she tried to herd just about everything!

That behavior is so hard wired into them, born to herd and real good at it! Thanks Corky
