Puppy In The Brush

I see that we will need to brushhog the pasture shortly, I appreciated this photo, it offers a sense of  scale when a puppy goes to work with a flock of sheep. Fate almost vanishes in the grass when she lies down, she is only 15 weeks old. I called for her to “lie down” at a great distance and she did, and when she did, the sheep stopped to graze. This is important, as it teaches the sheep and the dog to be calm together, this isn’t around racing around, although that is sometimes necessary. At first, I had trouble finding her.
