Border collie Blue Boy chez P. Heintz- 2009 ( sheeps herding)

2009, June. I was on hollidays in France.
My dogs and I were going on a 5 days long training course with Philippe Heintz, who is one of the very best sheepdogs handlers in France.

The first sequence of the video features one of the border collie trial steps, ( about french grade 2 distances), witch is called "Driving":
The handler must remain at the the post from the commencement of the run.
Sheeps must be driven though 2 sets of gates (here featured by little cones, too far too be seen on the vidéo) , so that they describe a triangular course.

On the last sequence of the video, Blue Boy is working on other sheeps breed, mixed "soays" , that are very, very speed, as you can see ( Philippe said that they are "flyin sheeps", lol )
You can see how Blue Boy adapts the way he works, by widenning naturally much more his circles courses, and keeping larger distances from these sheeps than from the first ones.

Blue Boy is a good boy :-)
******************************************

Blue Boy essaye un Triangle à distance pour conclure une séance, au cours d'un petit stage de 5 jours chez Philippe Heintz, en juin 2009, très profitable, et validé pour le CACCBT, car Blue Boy s'est montré capable d'effectuer de nombreux petits travaux de changements de pré, de mise en enclos, de tri et et autres petits exercices plus ou moins complexes. sur la 2eme séquence, ce sont des croisées soays, dont Phillippe dit qu'" elles ne courrent pas, elle volent!" On voit qu'il ouvre beaucoup plus ses angles et garde des distances plus grandes, s'adaptant ainsi de lui-même au style de bêtes .
