Sniper and Kita, two Australian Shepherds, visit Mike Horgan at Draxen Farms, Ft. Pierce, FL for an introductory lesson to sheepherding. We're not going into the sheepherding business, but thought it would be fun to see how they do. There were several other dogs there too, including a little Shit-zu guy that was totally into it, a couple of noisy miniature Aussies and two gorgeous Gray merle Aussies with a very professional handler - wow! were they impressive to watch. The little guys all did great too!
Mike was terrific with his two Border Collies, Connor and Elle, in getting our two novices to figure out what to do. Mike was very patient in getting us humans to figure out what we were supposed to do, too. At the end of the day, our Aussies did great, then collapsed into a heap for the car ride home. All in all, we had a wonderful afternoon at Mikes secluded, very comfortable ranch. What's not to like about dogs herding sheep?!?
If you're ever in the area with a dog with possible potential, contact Mike. You won't regret it, and your dog(s) will never forget it. This isn't an ad, so find Draxen Farms online and do your thing. Enjoy.
