The first is a clip of Diva going out on an outrun to collect our sheep. She doesn't not have a pretty pear shaped outrun but she is effective and I love how she flipped back around and picked up the old ewe who had been laying on the fence away from the flock. I didn't have to say a word and she showed off her very nice sense of group. This should be a lesson to me that when the sheep split I need to keep my mouth closed and let her do her thing, she knows what she is doing ;).
The 2nd video is of us driving the sheep down from the top of the large field to the smaller working fields. A few weeks ago I posted a similar driving video and I think it is obvious that she has made progress. For one thing she actually drove down the entire field in one continuous action and she did it while having to deal with distraction (for her at least). I had my children with me and they are down by the black truck in the background. Diva takes watching her kids as a serious job so every time they would laugh or yell she would look that way and pause.
