Our dogs don't handle being in trouble well

[Mini Horses]

Those dogs are awesome. I've watched that type work goats & sheep -- just awestruck!! I could watch a day of those trials with gusto.

Now, my min-pin would like to think she helps me herd but she gets into protector mode and often barks and turns the minis in the wrong direction. Gotta love her desire to help! But they are coming to me as I called them. I leave her inside if I know I'm moving the herd to a field where she will "be in the way".

My chickens are bigger than her, so she never does more than slink past them. Can't understand why she thinks she is bigger than the Fed Ex delivery guy. Attitude!!

Min pin huh? Those little dogs are nuts. My frround has one. She would be quite offended to be referred to as "a little dog" lol

It is amazing watching herding dogs at work!
