We’ve been introducing Bud to the sheep, one by one, and it’s going well. They touch noses, get used to each other’s smell. The sheep have no fear of Bud, which is important.

Sheep are great readers of unstable dogs, they can sense a menace from a long way off. They are at ease around Bud, which tells me he is not aggressive in any way. (They aren’t afraid of Fate, either, of course.)

Suzy was happy to meet Bud and exchange smells. Bud is a natural born farm dog, he is so comfortable out in the pasture.
