An experience for Border Collies and their owners. Experiencing the joy of seeing something awaken in your dog that has been bred into him for centuries can be an amazing experience. 10-15 minutes of herding stock, whether it be a first introduction or an experienced dog sorting sheep provides more enrichment than running several miles because of the active engagement of thought.

We have a 26 acre working sheep farm, with 16 acres of fenced pastures, 6 wooded acres and the remainder is in lawn. Our pastures are subdivided into 4 fields for pasture rotation which enables efficient use of feed and the ability to naturally manage parasite loads. Shady Creek Farm has a small flock.

Nellie was introduced to sheep the day after we brought her home, by the time she was 4 months old she was exhibiting herding instinct and was able to gather up small groups of lambs. She is a great hiking partner, loves to retrieve a ball and will do a back flip .
