Pics of the day: The morning run

A random selection of sheepdogs, out and about

Odo and William may be different breeds, but they have the same interests: “Is it me, or do those sheep need tidying up?”

If a fox were to carry a Frisbee, then it would look like this. I say “if”, but we’re pretty sure that foxes do carry the dog toys out of the field sometimes. We’ve found long-lost soft toys a couple of fields away – and extremely pungent!

I agree that a Beardie owner needs a sense of humour (something I was told when we first had Lottie) but one sense a Beardie owner doesn’t need is acute hearing. Make no mistake, Lottie is a hairy joy to have around, but does she have to keep up a running commentary?

“Ouch, Lottie, your beard tickles!”

And finally, one of my favourite photos of all time. Not recent (frighteningly 2012) but we still have the same ethos – all our sheepdogs are pets first, working dogs second, and this picture shows why we love to have so many of these wonderful animals around us.

“My ball I think, ladies!”

Style is as style does. Pip and Meg can’t believe they missed that ball, but they do look magnificent!
