[QUOTE="An ancient git, post: 6744526, member: 53674"] It's temperament of the dogs that is crucial ! My last collie was useful , but didn't give a sh1t if he didn't see a sheep for months ! I stopped bothering to have a collie etc , as all ring-fenced and my homebred ewes know where they are supposed to go . I don't vary the routines too much , or it can go awry ... Always leave odd cull ewes and a few old girls with any weaned lambs ; they bring them home no probs . Even got a 'retired' 11 year old ewe , that is quiet and knows the score , and she brings all home . A lot cheaper and easier than keeping a dog !! Some haylage and a multivax annually keeps her going and happy !! [/QUOTE]
