Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 If bandwidth isn't an issue after all, I'd love to see us put together a mini photo journal documenting the different stages of a young dog's training on stock. Since the majority of you camera geeks have sheep, I guess it will be mostly sheep applications. But I hope those with other livestock would jump in too. I'd suggest that once all the pictures (and comments) are collected, they be set up as a permanent exhibit on the USBCC website somewhere. So if Eileen OKs that, keep that in mind. I think it would be fun (and informative, of course) for those who live the "life" vicariously, to see what the heck we're talking about. I challenge everybody to work on getting pics that capture the "magic moments" and frustrations both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Sounds like fun to me. It would be a real challenge to show the training progression in still pictures, but let's see what people can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I can provide a first picture. This is the *exact* second this 4 month old pup turned on. She'd been running around trying to play with her mother (Spottie, whiter dog in the picture) and sniffing and just being a puppy, when this lamb took off and the light bulb went on. Seconds later she was nicely wearing around the pen and is turning out to be a nice natural dog with lots of "go around" to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Ooh, you can see the head and tail dropping. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 By the way, all, don't feel obligated to wait for someone with the "next step". If you've got a cool picture of a youngster learning a shed or driving off mama/calf pairs, go for it. I'm just looking to collect bits and pieces and we'll work on putting them in order somewhere later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle C Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Well, here's the second picture. This is Casper, my 3 yr. old Border Collie. We were working cattle in the pic. He's got the Border Collie stare goin' on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle C Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Well, since I finally figured this out, here are a few pics. This is Casper, my 3 yr old boy. We were working some calves in these pics a few days ago, but I couldn't work him and get action photos at the same time so I settled for some "stare" pics. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-2/948648/casper77.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-2/948648/casper66.jpg This is my newest addition. This is 8 week old Flye. She's a cutie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
