Dogs in action

this has been a quiet thread

Not sure how many know of sheep dog trials? It's an Aussie and New Zealand sport
The action involves a sheep dog and several sheep.
The idea is for the dog to direct the sheep into an enclosure whilst the dogs owner looks on with some prompting - whistles or sounds, from the owner
It's uncanny to watch.
yesterday though one of the sheep decided enough was enough and broke rank and jumped clean over the fence.
Here's the dog and master waiting for the start

I missed the shot of the sheep escaping and the other two trotting sublimely into the pen
