Great video love watching the dogs working back home in Ireland we use the collie great dogs am sure there is a few huntsways back there now 👌

[@HillCountryFarmer]

Cheers Gary, Yeah right I’ve never had a true collie but I think our heading dogs have a fair bit of that in them great animals!

Love watching the young dogs learn, the instincts are there but there enthusiasm gets the better of them at times 😂

I don't know mate, I think you're being a bit hard on yourself. I think your huntaways go pretty good. I'd like to see his out on the hill and yours in the training paddock to get a better comparison.

Yeah I like to be critical, mine get the jobs done and I guess that’s what it’s all about! Cheers

Here we like a collie with some eye and style the huntaway make a lot of noise

[@HillCountryFarmer]

Fair enough, they both have their place! If you want to get work done on the hills you get the huntaways out!

Du you have to learn them to bark 🤔 thanks for posting 🤝🇳🇴

[@HillCountryFarmer]

It’s a natural instinct for them, you do have to teach them to ‘use their noise’ - hold off the sheep and let their bark move the sheep.

Thank you for the answer I am only used to Border collies 🇳🇴
