Good effort

 

What method did you use?

Was no effort my friend, the pic was taken last August im just looking through some old pics on my wifes computer, from a very early age with the consent of my local farmer, i steadily day by day introduced my dogs to livestock whilst on lead, as soon as any one of them showed the slightest interest, a sharp tug on the lead with the simple command of NO, and now i can walk freely amongst all livestock with my dogs, different kettle of fish though this time of the year with all the youngsters about, so i keep clear if i can, failing that, i put them on a lead, so as not to cause any stress

thank you

It takes very little time and training to stock break the vast majority of dogs,whatever their breeding,its all part of responsible ownership and working a dog in the field.Why then do some,not see it as part and parcel of owning a working dog?.

, i think lambs can test some dogs, if they aint seen many before,As they move+look differnt to sheep. I dont think you can trust any dog 100%, you always got to keep aeye on them.!!

Many years ago i ran a Greyhound bitch,totally stockbroken,early march one year coursed an hare along the side of a wood,came back with a lamb in its mouth,when i stockbreak a pup now i am never completely happy until they are used to lambs and running sheep.

Good photo, with the lead and the dogs pose, it looks like your grey whippet is stock breaking your black one.

Looks that way doesnt it, id like to think so, the blue bitch has seen it all before from a very early age, but we like to keep our hand in, and do a refresher occasionally, important to me

thank you
