Sheep Herding German Shepherds

Summer fun with the GSD’s!

Seems like we went right from Winter to Summer this year – instead of a gradual increase in temperatures, Spring started out with 80-90 degree temps and now that we are into Summer, it has been in the high 80-90 steadily.   The dogs love to play ball, so having the pond to take a soak in is really nice to cool down.

Arla and Delta retrieving their new balls from the pond.

My dogs just love the water and it’s a great way to exercise them without overheating them.  I can’t tell you how many balls have been torn up and are at the bottom of the pond, but I know we go through many balls as everyone has to have one of their own.

That’s all for now, more on herding next week.  I hope I remember to bring my camera.  The lambs are growing nicely on the wonderful lush pasture and we are starting to move them as a group now since the lambs are finally getting the hang of sticking together.  Lambs are so unpredictable.
