In the second photo Ffee has shot round to hide behind me. The sheep were stamping their feet at her, poor girl.

Haha, me and ginger lab (on lead and close to me) got followed by 4 large ewes abreast
one time. We were both quite worried and kept checking over our shoulders

That looks more like worrying sheep than sheep worrying!

The ever approaching flock reminds me of the angels in Dr Who. I had similar with mine years ago, dogs and me worried and retreating, being very gradually pursued by sheep!

The angels are the scariest of the enemies/monsters in Doctor Who I think

I posted the actual video of these sheep in a Facebook group. Looks of ‘well done, your dogs are well trained’ comments. That seems bizarre to me on two levels, one I’m no wonder trainer but when my dogs are waiting for a bird to fall you could probably cut off their heads and they wouldn’t notice, which I presume is breeding/drive/focus related and also surely any dog you walk or work anywhere should be able to cope with normal distractions?

The shoot I go on has sheep on and I’m fairly I could send my dog through the middle of them for a bird and he wouldn’t notice they were there

Standing their ground when being sized up by attack sheep is a big ask for any dog, I reckon. Well done dogs and trainer

Not sure who’d have been retreating the quickest if that had happened to us, me or the JRT.

Bless them. I bottle reared a lamb for someone years ago. He thought he was a goat and followed me everywhere. Someone came to visit with their dog and my friend had to ask to please call off my sheep because it was scaring her dog. It was quite funny being the owner of the only dog worrying sheep in the area!
