[QUOTE="It was already broken., post: 3375308, member: 55842"] I think any collie focusing on the sheep can be taught to catch without really trying. Separate an old cull ewe after the young dog has been doing some good work and is feeling good about things and all I do is encourage the dog to chase the one ewe and command 'grip it' which somehow sounds like an aggressive come on to the dog, the blood comes up in the dog and bang thats it! Then the next time you have one sheep stuck in the brambles on its own you have a devil of a job getting the dog to clear off so you can get it out. I think the dog starts feeling a bit like we do when we throw stones at cats, it feels wrong but also loads of fun. [/QUOTE]
