Liam is growing up he is thinking of challenging Red these days, I sent Red into the stall in the barn to dig the sheep out so we could clean up, Liam stepped in front of Debbie to block Red and challenge him. Red is a consummate professional, calm and poised, he is careful around she sheep, he uses his eye and his body language to move the sheep, after about 15 seconds, Liam moved off and went out of the barn and then Red went into the barn and pushed the other sheep out. Very few sheep can withstand such a close eye from a dog. A border collie’s life is never the same two days in a row.
