Yes, just looks like my Zip (number 2 pic) loves wiggling under the gate to go for a chat with the ewe's.


He doesn't seem so wiggle under gate 2 though to see the ram!!!

Thats so like my lambs, as soon as you go in the field they come running to see the dogs and follow Niamh the wolfhound pup all over the place,
she used to be terrified of them but now she just acts as if they are not there

All our sheep chat to the dog except the Castlemilk Moorits, they're the only ones that stay well away from her.  The pygmy goats pin the dog up against the tree - she doesn't mess with those pygmies!


Hope you enjoy your girls Sally. 


Are you going to the Carlisle show - I could get you another Muscovy female by then (apologies).
