Dogs with jobs
Is there any interest in stories about dogs doing farm jobs? It is lambing time.

- Calves and lambs have started here in Nevada and a lot of places.
Some people like having babies earlier in the year, mostly California or the low desert.
Nothing like a good dog for herding. They are worth two Texas brushpoppers. - I look forward to this annual thread!!
- Yes please. All kinds of jobs.
:B - I love reading about your dogs!!! And seeing cute kids (the lamb kind - I have plenty of cute human kids...LOL!)
- Yes, please!! I love working sheepdog tales. Love the lambs, and how the dogs interact with them.
- Sorry, it’s been a bit busy here. Let me start with a small intro for those who don’t know about us.
We are not the typical RVers; we use our RV for housing at dog shows (sheep herding competitions). We set up camp in a pasture on the host farm along with many others; no hook-ups. Keeping sheep goes hand in hand with training our dogs for competition. The sheep pay for their up keep and improvements on the farm through the sale of adult sheep and lambs.
We have dogs for two different functions; protection of the sheep from predators and herding the sheep.
