sheep pong is possibly the most awesome thing i have ever seen.


i don't want to be a Sheppard but i love them herd dogs so much..... I want to get one...but i need some more space for one to run about and stuff first.

I've seen that before, but it still rocks (in a strange sheep-lover's sort of way).

I'm fairly sure that the dogs in the video are Australian Sheep Dogs. If so they're one of the most intelligent and trainable animals you'll ever encounter. Not to mention fiercely loyal and VERY protective of their owners and family.

Many years ago I had a neighbor who bred ASDs so I got to see just what they were capable of. I wished then as I do now that I had the financial means to own one. The do need some land to run on (which I don't have) and just LOVE having a "flock" of children (don't have that either) to look after.

Simply amazing dogs.

but wayyyyy too much time spent.

Well, it's not like they don't have the time to spend. They're shepherds after all...

Dear, those flocks you tend,
Do they ever take my place?
Alas, she knew the answer,
By the sheepish look on his face.
