Large Flock Herding in the Catskills, NY
Posted By Sandy Wilson on July 8, 2010
Aiko von der Kleinen Wiese herding a flock of 300 sheep in the Catskills of New York!
This July 4th weekend we visited very special friends of ours in the Catskills of New York. It was a very hot couple of days, but that didn’t stop us from getting the flock out to herd with our dogs. We got up before the sun rose up high in the morning to do some morning grazing with the sheep and then we took the sheep out late in the evening just before the sun sunk down below the mountains – the view was just breathtaking!
Texel/Dorset cross flock – over 300 head of sheep!
Our Aiko had the time of his life working with his Uncle Luki, also known as Dux v. Fafnerhaus, and his cousin Emma v. Fafnerhaus for the first time and these dogs worked together beautifully. It was just an amazing sight to see and the dogs had such a great time. More on the details of our herding adventures in New York coming soon!
In addition to our adventures herding, we also saw some absolutely beautiful waterfalls in the Catskills, visited the Howe Caverns and then we went for an exciting Zipline Canopy Tour – it was a fantastic vacation – dogs and family – doesn’t get better than that!
More details coming on our sheep herding in the Catskills!
