Red and I herd the sheep every day, rain or shine. We work in the side pasture, and we practice outruns, directional commands, I keep Red fit and focused. It has become a sacred ritual for me, a way of grounding myself, connecting with Red, learning patience and precision, focusing my dog training skills. It is a great gift to have Red, and to have sheep, it would be an awful waste not to use them, and I am very blessed to make this work a daily part of my life on the farm, and with Red. He is a remarkable dog.
