In preparation for the upcoming Shetland Sheep Show at the Skagit County Fair in August, John has been working with the boys doing some halter training. He works with them a little every night - Our friend Nancy G. is going to help show, as we are taking HB, Louie & Danny all down.
Nancy had Louie - He was less than thrilled to be having the experience, but he did a good job.
The kind of reminded me of the old "Pied Piper" tale, where everyone follows the leader out of town.
A struggle, a snuggle and checking fleece
Well, that really wasn't too bad - can we have more kibbles?
Nope, halter training is done for the evening - maybe tomorrow, boys.
I thought this picture of HB & Louie up next to each other was kind of cool - HB's wool is going
to be very special, I think.

Not dissimilar to dog training, though I think I'd prefer dogs on leash to sheep. I laughed at the Shetland show in Eugene - frustrated shepherds leading by horns. Good luck - good thing you're starting early. Your fleeces look wonderful. Any jet black ones available for sale???
I agree that it's good you are starting early. I wish we had done that with our dogs. They would do much better with our walks. I love the difference between the two sheep. Boy wouldn't spinners love the get those fleeces!
