In the little herd of cattle that was in the arena, there was one black baldy that kind of stood out. I asked Pete if the dog could sort that one out and move it separately. He indicated that dogs aren't really used this way, and the little flame of desire that was in me to get a cow dog flickered and went clear out. Besides, Pete distributed free dog whistles to anyone that wanted one, and I'm not even talented enough to make a proper dog directive noise with it. :roll: Guess I'd better stick to horses. :wink: :-)

Got a kick out of when Pete said something to the effect, "Everybody has a great dog until it gets proven otherwise."

:lol: :lol: :lol: I understand what you're saying about the whistle. I don't blame you one bit for not using a dog, but HAD to tease you about it anyhow!

I think Pete's quote could apply to horses as well :wink: :D .

But I could take any of my horses and get that one baldy steer sorted out of the rest of the bunch. :wink: :-)

The bad thing about a good dog is that they only last nine or ten years. A good horse will last at least twice that long. The average person probably only gets half as "attached" to a horse as they would to a good dog, so the sorrow of losing a dog is twice as hard, and then you lose them twice as often. That equals four times as much sorrow using and losing dogs instead of horses. Sounds exponentially correct to me. :wink:

Soap--your logic never ceases to amaze me.

WR......do you think that the Spearhead women are on a road trip to pick out a new stockdog for Soap?? :shock: :shock: Perhaps a Scottish champion trial collie.....
I'm sure Soap could learn the proper Scotch commands to handle a dog!! :?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll bet you're right... especially after Soap witnessed the miracle of stock dog work recently. Probably a quick e-mail to them, and they're searching high and low for the right pup to bring home :lol: :D .

They got back about 2 a.m. Friday morning, and reported having a great trip. They only saw one herd of sheep being moved. The crew consisted of one horseback rider and two dogs doing the work, and a supervisor riding a four-wheeler. :wink:

It's nice having them back. :-)

pictures pretty please!!
 
The good thing about a dog is he can do things for you when you are by yourself. My brother would trail cows down the road with just him and his dog. he would go up front and the dog would bring them behind. No he can't sort one out all by himself, but neither can a horse. Don't get me wrong. We use horses and can't/won't replace them. But a good dog is worth 2 good men, just like a horse.
