 I'm dying to know...
Do you guys get sheep trials in the US? It's a rainy sunday afternoon in NZ and I don't have pay tv so of the 5 tv channels I have to choose from 2 are running motorsport, one running rugby, one is a music tv channel and the last channel has got sheep trials playing!
I was just wondering if this is a kiwi phenomenon? Sheep trials is where a farmer gets his dog do all sorts of neat sheep herding stuff. Dixie's fascinated by the whistling (which is how the farmer communicates to the sheep).
Dougal once had a go at sheepherding. He ran around and around barking and got them in a tight bunch then the head sheep got sick of this annoying barking thing and took a couple of steps towards Dougal and at that point you could see him think "yes, well, ok - - I think my job is done here" and he legged it out of the paddock.
