Getting To Know You: Izzy And Red

Izzy And Red

Red reminded us again what a great working dog he is, he tried to corral Izzy in the dog area, she ran him right over, he got right up and walked her towards the gate. Then I woke up and brought the sheep into the dog area to be with Izzy, rather than the other way around. In sheepherding, you always bring the many to the few. Izzy was anxious at first, but the other sheep accepted her quickly. Later today, we’ll bring her in to be with the donkeys and the pony, Chloe.

Red is an amazing creature, he backed Izzy down a few times, and now she seems to be doing what she is told. He never bit her or acted aggressively towards her.
