The Shepherd by dide

The Shepherd

@julzmaioro and I, along with our spouses, were driving through a narrow, windy, shingle road (Dansey's Pass, South Island). The conversation from us two photographers went a little like this…'All we need now is to meet some sheep to make these images more interesting…' Well, it happened - all 1200 of them! This shepherd and his 11 dogs were following them up the road. More images tomorrow!
This would have to have been another highlight of our week... so great to see the dogs at work... FAV

Such a lovely scene and capture -- the shepherd and his dogs in their element -- reminds me so much of a rural scene in rural Mid Wales UK !! FAV

Eleven dogs that I can see, all busy & happy working together, must have been quite a sight! Fave.

@happypat Yes they were great - then for the homeward journey, they were put into a trailer. He called them in name by name - one was called Tinkerbell!

I'm sure it takes that many dogs to control that many sheep!

What a neat scene - was wondering when I first saw this why there were so many dogs - 1200 sheep would definitely require that! Your focus is excellent.

OMG, never seen so many dogs working at once. Two good ones would usually be enough for that number. He must really love dogs, good on him.

Great photo! I guess he would need a lot of dogs to keep that many sheep under control!
