Episode 7 - Sheep Herding with Brilliant Border Collies

June 21, 2020 • Emily O'Neil • Episode 7

This is the story of one man's love of the Border Collie breed, sheepherding, and, of course, his own amazing dogs.

Billy shares how he got his first BC (Border Collie) and when he first saw sheepherding in action or as he told me "poetry in motion".

Here in Florida, Billy is not only a farrier (these hardworking people do horse shoeing and hoof trimming) but also a blacksmith and a respected dog trainer.

You'll also hear a little history on my Flynn!
