Yes, the dogs are amazing, but let's not forget just how skilled the shepherd is in handling all the animals. The dogs make it look easy enough I almost fool myself into thinking I could do it myself, but then paying attention to the quick commands that kept chaos to a minimum I decided it's better for all involved if I stay in America and watch a pro do it on KZbin.

[@seanthesheepman5845]

Haha thanks man

"Lie down... LIE DOWN..." "But dad, it's too beautiful a day to lie down!" Can't blame them for being in high spirits... it's amazing on the dog cam we can hear how quiet and faraway your voice sounds, but they still instantly pick it up and respond... well, usually 🙂

[@dowyler24]

I marvel at these videos. Farmers have been herding sheep for hundrfeds of years this way. Sure, some of the equipment is modern, but the relationship between the farmer, dog, and sheep has not changed. That thought is magnificent.

[@JointSnipe]

The one thing that blows my mind the most about these amazing dogs is that they know when a command is completed, then they look at Sean to hear the next command. Just mind-blowingly intelligent.

[@8549b]

I’m sure the dogs enjoyed the holiday, but this is what working dogs live for. This is their normal and you can sense they love what they do.

[@mokiki]

Totalmente de acuerdo. Para ellos el trabajo es un juego y lo disfrutan al máximo 😊

[@DinFL]

Agreed! I love watching them work.

[@rosemariesmalling7689]

It's absolutely amazing. Love to watch your daily life with your dogs and sheep. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@irishk.1041]

Ah yes, your fields are the beautiful green as our Rocky Mountain highlands are right now. The dogs are truly enjoying being back to work too! Echo is LOVING his work and doesn't want to "lie-down". Our Patriot is like that - LOVES her work!! Just wonderful Sean. So nice to see how good you are with your dogs and your sheep.

Well said! I was going to say the same thing, but you said it all…❤❤❤❤

@@cbass2755 Sean is a wonderful Sheppard! I see you must be a cat person :) as am I. Have 3 beauties called the "Tiger Trio". Have always been a cat person until I met my Patriot. she is 3rd generation curl back Border from Scotland (her grandfather was from Scotland) and she has stolen this cat person's heart. she is laying on my feet as I write this to you. Have never LOVED a dog until now. Such an amazing animal!! We love our home in the highlands of the Rocky Mountains - WA state.

@@irishk.1041 Hello Irish!! 👋🏻😀. I’m in Southeast Michigan. Yes…I’m a cat person..♥️. But the picture you see is of my beloved kitty Frankie. I lost him in 2017. He was 17 years old and a Mancoon. I adore large cats, but i LOVE all cats. Frankie reached 32 pounds once!! The vet had his picture in his office. He died of kidney failure at 17 and weighing in at 18 pounds. Sweet, sweet kitty and such a lover. My heart broke and I never got another cat or dog again. Your comment is so darling….your a sweet person, I can tell. I wish you nothing but happiness, safety, love and security in your life. Enjoy the summer dear! I’m turning 70 this coming July. I can’t believe it, I just can’t! I feel young 🤣🤣. I have a nice, loving life, I’m healthy and my family is good. I’m hanging in here with everything going on. I give up to the Lord my God for everything I have. I pray you too. Take care dear…♥️✝️

[@irishk.1041]

@@cbass2755 Well, you and I have a LOT in common darlin! I was raised in Lansing. Lost my 19 year old soul mate cat "Odessey" in 2017 - her death broke my heart. Had a lost cat come out of the forest and could not just ignore her - told her she would never be hungry again :) She gave me two babies (hence the Tiger Trio) then she was fixed. Just turned 69 this year. Am retired in the mountains of NE WA state. LOVE it here!! Good Godly folks. As a wildlife artist, living in the mountains is priceless to me. God put me here for my final days of restfulness AWAY from most of the craziness. I am greatly blessed. Nice to meet you - be blessed darlin.

@@cbass2755 I know your comment wasn't directed at me, but HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I have an orange tortoise Maine Coon named Todd. Named after Big Head Todd & the Monsters! He is an awesome big cat with a dog personality. I've had some amazing unique cats in my life - 2 Manx, a Mitten Kitten & a mini-tabby. Funny how they all have different personalities & learn silly things that make each unique. I also have an Australian shepherd, Zeke. I don't know what I'd do without my fur babies. They sure keep this empty nest going & interesting. It's so hard losing one! I always think I'm not going to get another animal. But, some how another one finds its way into my ❤ & home!✌❤😃

[@NanaVicki1]

I know this is a few months old, but seeing what they see and the ability to hear is so amazing to me!

[@lovedbythestars9609]

I love watching you and the dogs work. Not an expert but it seems the dogs are making the right moves more often without you having to tell them . I also appreciate how you try to minimize the sheeps' stress-you didn't push when the one sheep stood up to the dogs. He turned around and went the right way after making his stand! All the best to you and Stacy .

I watched That Man and His Dog back in the day of televised sheep dog trials. I don't know if they are still recorded but now I am in the US I don't get to watch the BBC. You are the upgraded version of that program, modernized, more exciting, more real! Thank you for some real life farm life

Thank you, Sean for not only all the cool videos you make but also the very hard work of raising sheep and running the farm! You and your Missus deserve high praise, along with your beauties the dogs! God bless you all!😊

[@Pumpkinnan]

This was great watching Storm and Echo work…especially the GoPro on so we get a bit of the pup’s view. Amazingly responsive to commands, although Echo seems to be a bit stubborn! Your dogs love their jobs. They both remind me of a dog I had years ago…looked exactly like Storm. She was a great dog, but never used to heard sheep. She did ‘round up’ our chickens easily when it was time for them to go back in their coop/yard. Thanks for sharing your dogs and beautiful Scotland. From Nashville….

[@seanthesheepman5845]

No problem glad you enjoyed

[@GunnWrights]

I know... watching Storm with that GoPro on her back was just hilarious! I loved watching her work up close and personal like that. I was literally laughing watching her have fun, and a couple laughs when Echo was doing his own thing. They both love what they do - dogs are truly man's best friend!!!! 🐕🐶 [Just subscribed from USA]

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

Your vacation looked lovely, but I bet the dogs are glad to be back at work! I had to laugh a bit at Echo, trying to be sneaky.

[@earth.star14]

This is what border collies are suppose to be doing! It really is such a shame when I see the average urbanite with a collie, living in a suburban neighborhood with a 9-5 job. PSA: these working dogs are not meant to live in such conditions. Same thing goes for LGDs. A Great Pyrenees isn’t meant to be laying on your couch all day! Sean, thank you for putting out such great content and showing viewers what these dogs are meant to do. The cohesiveness is beautiful and so captivating to watch! Keep up the great work.

[@pandoraalberts5267]

Wow! Hard work, for the dogs and the farmer. One can always admire the talent and energy of these beautiful dogs, but it's easy to forget how sheep are the perfect subject. 180 degree vision from both sides, instant reactions and an infallible instinct to flock together. I look at these videos and wonder how people sit in stuffy offices all day... And, by the way.... the dogs' adorable floppy ears are just too much! 😍

[@LindaC616]

But office work is OK when the rain is coming down and it's dreich

[@LindaC616]

I was thinking the same. Once he started cleaning them off, it almost looked as though they were walking in willingly, just to get on with it and be back with the others
