His are sort of "famous"---in high demand. <br />I had asked if what they did was instinctive and he said for the most part, it is.<br />It's really just a matter of "fine-tuning" their natural abilities and teaching them a few hand signals. Amazing dogs. I wish I could afford one of his (though I don't have sheep)---they are such docile and well behaved dogs.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
