Border Collie Sheep Herding
Demonstration time: 30-45 minutes
Come to see the sheep herding demo! We will learn about the history of the border collie dog breed, elements of working dog training, and the traditions of shepherding in southern Scotland. A well-trained herding dog works in partnership with its handler and obeys commands to perform its job. Properly trained, the dog is able to move the sheep just about anywhere. Good herding dogs control sheep with calm authority and without excessive "commotion". A vital part of Celtic history and society were based almost entirely on pastoralism and the raising of cattle or sheep. Watch as she does incredible demonstrations of how well-trained dogs can herd sheep, with a shepherd’s simple commands. Approximately a hundred Irish farmers still herd sheep in this manner, many of whom compete in annual sheep-herding competitions.
Sheep herding demonstrations will take place at 1:00 pm.
