froggydog Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Our Dab was introduced to sheep at 4 months, and readily took interest in them, surprising us all. She's since had some light training, and will have her first official training primer this fall. Not bad for a pup! Here's a couple pics from easter, when she was about 4 1/2 months. Has anyone else had a BC that took to the sheep at an early age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Many of us will try a pup on sheep at a young age. I have photos of my youngster (9 months) Kestrel going around the ewe flock at 3 months old. Most of the time they are not ready for real training until they're a bit older. I haven't actually started training Kes, but about once a month, I will take her to the sheep to see where her head is (which would be my determination that she's ready for the pressure of training). We're not there yet. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
