Handler Rich Seaman works almost-3-yr-old working kelpie Noonbarra Sky after New England snowfall at Rich's training facility, Sheepdog Junction. Distance covered across field is approx 220 yards; outrun is approx 120 yards. Order of run: outrun/fetch, drive, first crossdrive, return crossdrive, and early lesson in training shedding (although the last minute of Sky's calm control after the shed was lost from video). Rich navigates dog and sheep around occasional icy patches, lawn furniture and other obstacles. Weather conditions: temperature -5 C with 20-30 km/hour winds.
Great job, Sky! My Chihuahua, Cameo, was very attentive to the whistle. Does Rich have any VERY tiny sheep to herd? ;-)
