I am a working sheepdog enthusiast. I love to talk with people related to sheepdog training, trialing, handling, judging, or sheep and farming related topics. I often judge sheepdog trials here in Ireland but I also travel to judge in Europe and the US. I particularly enjoy training young sheepdogs for work primarily, but I want ones that have the qualities needed for top level trialling competition when fully trained. I am looking for dogs that have plenty of power, stamina and balance. for more info please visit www.churchmountsheepdogs.com for training examples and interviews please visit our Patreon account www.patreon.com/churchmountsheepdogs
You wouldn't happen to know of anyone selling a pup for working cattle dont have sheep. Sadly my own dog has come to the end of her days. Love the videos and the detail ye go into
@SeanKeenan-y5z well I have video of a couple of my dogs working cattle but I don't work cattle nowadays becuase cattle dogs aren't nearly as valuable as a good sheepdog but years ago when I had lots of work I kept dogs that did both and I let them do both. But dogs didn't take me as long to make back then and they weren't as valuable either. So some of my pups will do both and some will do neither..we just have to select them based on what they do..but no one can know what a pup will be till it's about 10 or 12months old. And anyone who says otherwise is talking rubbish
A good one is invaluable never mind valuable. Myself and my neighbour bought 2 well bred pups from same litter, mine will sit under jeep and eat cow dung, his would nearly get the kids out to school. Have you anything for sale at the minute?
We might have a bitch pup available. They are about 4weeks old now. We bred the mother a few years ago to my Bruce dog (he works cattle) and it was a good litter. (My Dale dog is out of that litter). This litter is by my Bert dog (there is one video of him here on bullocks). One of Dale's brothers is good on cattle too. You need to move on the one under the jeep anyway, they won't all work out
@@ChurchmountSheepdogs I am interested in how things are made; the interaction of raw materials, ingenuity and skill. A cooking show working through the procedure in making a delicious napoleon, or a scrappy Pakistani machine shop turning out usable items, even works of art, this is what draws viewers. I made a comment to a man restoring a wooden boat in the midlands. It was all talk, a selfie of him walking around the boat. Whilst that hit a nerve, he admitted sheepishly it was a misguided stab at his 15 minutes of fame. RU-vid viewers have attention spans a lot less than that.
I saw you interviewing her on another video, A Phàdruig. She's that bonnie I would probably sit on a barrel if she asked me, too 😀. Not an answer to how it works, but I couldn't help looking at her. Seems a lovely lassie 👍
I've dabbled with stick making, using many different kinds of material for the tops - I've even sold a few sticks - but today I learned that I've a long way to go to reach John Daly's standard. Thanks for posting this video.
Well I think nice wooden handles are a great way to practice and deer antlers are fairly plentiful and can make a useful stick too so keep making them becusse we are running out of these guys 😆
I live in Boise, Idaho, USA, would like to buy one of John Daly’s shepherd’s crook/ walking sticks. You mentioned that you might could arrange that. That would be much appreciated. -JFox
I am from navan county meath ireland we were discussing about the stick maker from my home town here in navan along the river Boyne It's salmon and trout season I kinda have an idea were he lives here in navan If that's any help to you
@@royalhilltararanger3947 Thanks very much for your offer. I think I will plan a trip to Ireland within the next couple of years and try to find one to buy, in person. Thanks again. -JF
I called Tom first but he was all out of sticks and John just had 3 that suited what I wanted so I took those. I got a lovely stick from Tom and another friend of his at the Irish National sheepdog trials last year.
No these fellas don't even tend to be on social media..well i suppose it was a good thing that there was no tiktok when these fellas were starting out making sticks in the boring winters evenings or there'd have been no stickmaking lol
There is or was a breeder of Bearded Border Collies here in US. They werent crosses. Many years ago there a program from the UK that featured a bearded Border Collie that herded.
I bought the Rifle that Lanny designed (both the Walther Free Rifle an Air Rifle) and won a few events with them and also listened to the audio cassettes every day which helped my performance at the range greatly. Thank you for the inspiration!!!!
I'm very glad for being exposed to Bryan throughout a few years. The things he does with a horse, he does so easily. The main thing for me is that he fits the horse and has caused me to be so much more observant and aware and to adjust myself to the situation.
Glad you like him. I think he will make a good allround dog. We had a few good ones from this cross. He is by my BERT dog and out of a daughter of my Bruce dog
Daniel herr is a video where i explain the fathers pedigree if youd like to watch it. Everyone knows Bruce pedigree becuase he is a brother of Rickly's Jock ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lty-n9j2TFE.html
