@keithroberts4559 Год назад

Border Collies are not widely used, the NZ Sheep Industry developed their own breed of dog, the Huntaway, usually black and tan in color. Known for its powerful bark,stamina and all round abilities mustering sheep,cattle,deer. Mixture of breeds make a huntaway,common is the Beardie,long or short haired. A cross between a Old English Sheepdog and a Airedale.

I could only watched a few minutes as I’m not sure if this is a humane way to sheer a sheep. Someone please chime in. I’m very intrigued and would love to watch the rest of the video to learn more but I want to be sure that I’m supporting something positive for these animals.

@ewetube.videos Год назад

It's humane, they don't like it because they're afraid of people but it must be done. What I compare it to is going to the dentist for us, we don't like it but we have to do it for our health. If not shorn, flys will lay eggs on sheep and maggots will hatch and eat the sheep alive. That's not a rear occurance, I see sheep with maggots regularly all summer long. Hope that helps. 😁

@scrumps101 Год назад

@@ewetube.videos Thank you for your reply. That added a lot of context to which I fully understand. Your explanation helped me relate this to my 8 pound dog who’s terrified of the groomer. She has hair rather than fur so it will just continue to grow without maintenance. She trembles and hides when it’s time for a haircut and you’d think she gets tortured there. But it has to be done. Off to watch the rest of the video, Its definitely piqued my interest.

Absolutely FASCINATING! I’m a city girl, California native, we don’t have many sheep here in Long Beach😂 I think I’ve seen a handful of sheep in my lifetime. I’ve always been intrigued at the life of a sheep tho as the animal has been an integral part of us humans being able to thrive. Seeing this many sheep is crazy! Even crazier is how fast you guys can sheer these animals. This must feel so good to them to get rid of all that heat and weight. The sheep dogs are AMAZING! So intelligent. You all must feel so fortunate to be able to work with all these beautiful animals, in the country and fresh air. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to binge watch your videos to catch up.
