Kells Sheep Center : Brenden demonstrates how essential it is for the farmer to use sheep dogs in handling sheep. On the farm a shepherd and his dogs move large numbers of sheep over wide areas all day long.

Lambs are born in April and at about two weeks of age they and their mother (ewes) are put to graze in the mountains. Grazing is communal and ownership of the sheep has to be indicated by marking them with an identifying colour. Sheep and lambs are taken to and from the mountains several times each summer -- for example, to shear the wool, or for animal health purposes or to cull some animals for market. The need for all these movements makes the use of dogs essential. Sheepdogs, usually border collies, are trained to both word command and whistle command, to work wide around the sheep and to move them quietly and slowly towards the shepherd. When sheep are being brought from the mountains, the shepherd and one dog select sheep with the right markings and the dog minds them; the other dog drives the unwanted sheep back to the mountains.

I was stationed at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk England back in the 80s. I broke my leg and was bedridden for several weeks. That was when I discovered on BBC1 or BBC2 the wonderful world of sheep dog trials. I laid there in bed with my jaw dropped in my lap watching those dogs and their owners do things that I would have thought impossible, had I not seen it with my own eyes. My family never had a dog, just cats (because my step-mother was allergic to dogs) Needless to say that I had no idea how skilled the shepherds were and how intelligent the breeds were. I counted myself lucky to have landed this assignment. My five plus years stationed in the U.K was almost a day to day wonderment of the people and their pets and working dog. I never go to bars in the United States, but I had after of a year or so of living in leaston earned the grudging acceptance of my local pubs patrons. The Parrot and Punchbowl was the Pub I would go to after work for a pint and good conversation, not to mention the attention of several of my friends dogs. ( I always carried treats) Needless to say in my opinion if you don't allow mans best friend into the pub to socialize, than your country is not civilized. I visited Scotland, Wales, and Ireland and absolutely fell in love with all. I wish I could afford to retire in Leastone and live out my life surrounded my honest decent folk, and their dogs.
You are interesting - write a book about this. Loved the last line in your sentence- very poetic.
I visited this same demonstration in August of 2011. At that time, I think Max, the younger dog, was just in training. Sort of acting as an "intern." The shepherd was about to retire his older dog. It was my favorite thing about our trip around Ireland.
Thank you Benjamin Suyematsu for sharing this video - Dave
I am recovering from my fall from roof in June 2012 - I broke my leg, wrist and cracked pelvis. Good thing and blessing - I did not do more damage and have got back to functioning in all regards. Still have some healing but will not do anymore roof work. My wife and I just returned from Ireland and had a grand time. Posted several video's from trip. Dave KK4WW
Just got back from Ireland. This shepherd continues to show this wonderful demonstration in 2019. Thanks David for making this video so I can always look back to it for this beautiful memory!
HI Julianne - Glad you had a good trip.My wife and I went back two years ago and had a good time.
It was still great in 2022!
Amazing to see the shepherd and dogs working together in such harmony. Those dogs are wicked smart and so beautiful!
am from Pakistan, this old shepherd presentation is awesome with simple English language filled in funny words and the way he expressed. I liked it. am a writer but I wished I could be a shepherd in these countries like New Zealand, Australia, Ireland etc
I had the luck of meeting this man and attending one of his showings. Absolutely amazing. Will definitely go again if I get the chance.
Hi 69 - I would hope to make one more visit to Ireland but not sure will make it with all the travel restrictions now. I will be 83 in 2 months so can't wait too many yeas. David Larsen
Amazing. After watching this video our border collie's herding behaviour makes so much sense. He also loves to fetch for hours. Such smart animals. Great shepherd and beautiful sheep too.
Etel Rosenberg Hi Etel - Thank you - we did enjoy watching these Collie's --

Tapferhund Hi Thank you for watching - Dave www.kk4ww.com
I am irish,but to me this is very strange,but if you come from another and live in an urban area sheepdog herding is something new and exciting and fair play to the farmer for spotting a gap in the market only a kerryman could.
He is a great shepherd and a great trainer

Hi Thank you. I was back in Ireland in September but did not have opportunity to visit this farm. I did have a great time.
Hi Great to know this - Sound like a good dog. Thank You
Dave KK4WW Computer Collector / Historian
So cool
Great - You are probably right but it looks like everyone is having a good time.
I have heard that a Border Collie is as smart as a 4 year old child. I believe it. And, it's obvious that these dogs are athletes. And, that they love to work. Wonderful dogs.
amazing....
Yes this is great the way these Sheep Dogs do such a good job. It was great to visit and see this. Thank you for watching - Dave
Gotta love those things...
I been in here many times nice place
Collies are just facinating dogs
you can comment on ewan cuddling welsh annemarie
This is amazing! Nowadays, we only treat sheep dogs as family pets, and say OMG it's cute, but look at how amazing they can act. All right, I just made a decision that I'm gonna get a goat/sheep/ram for my dog........ Just kidding. Thanks for sharing this awesome vid!
Lawrence C. Xu Hi Xu - we are looking for Fiber Festival to have at our www.chantillyfarm.com and should have some sheep dogs there. Dave
Do the protective sheep dogs have the ability to control sheep herds too? It seems like you either choose protection or control, but you can't have both.
+Travis Heinze Some breeds have the ability yes, most don't. It would not work though, as the Guardian dog would have to be "a part of the herd" so that he feels like he HAS to guard it.
Very cool! 73
are those border collies?
I have seen these magic dogs working all my life time and again. They are awesome. They are putatively as intelligent as 4 year olds. Eh??? Where in H do these 4-year-olds hang out! I've never seen them👍
I have that dowg
👍🏼
they are indeed, Border Collies originate from the English/Scottish borders (Cumbria,etc), known for being clever and flipping crafty (we have 3) Welsh Border collies ousted Welsh Sheepdogs in wales, check out a TV show called "one man and his dog", a typical BC has folded ear tips and a short snout, "Lassie" type collies (Rough Collies) have longer noses. Smooth collies have less fur, Welsh sheepdogs herd in a different manner to Border Collies, get a collie to know true love!
Excellent. How do i run the command to only one dog at time?
+Giancarlo Zito Hi I wish I could answer your question as I was only a spectator - sure did enjoy the visit.
+Giancarlo Zito He explained it. They have different commands.
+Matthijs3476 Same action requires different commands. Think teach one dog French, the other English.

Herding extinct......
My dogs only sleep, eat and poop.
Not so... Collies do this every day..in every country on the Globe.
Hi I do think that is what I was told - Border Collies. Thank you Dave KK4WW Historical Computer Collector / Historian
lmao.
The sheep were just as trained as the dogs
Free will definitely aint real lol
Some sheep’s are not left alone in the nights, there are some brave men on the trails and the female sheep’s are very cautious, for obvious reason, it’s lucky there is no offspring from mana sheep, or is there?
Great job on this video! Thanks Kells for allowing it.
