Mop
Mop at nearly a year old. She has a lot more class than I expected for a Bearded Collie, however she has plenty of power and push too. She has been to sheep about 5 times in this photo and this was the first time I imposed what I wanted on her, and made her go to the left which she did.
8 months of age.
6 months.

Mop is a very sweet bitch with a huge personality. She is now trying to go round sheep. She is very fast and keen and occasionally shows a bit of eye.
In this video I am leaving Mop to work to her own devices. I do try to get her to go left but it's not something I will worry about until she is ready to train. I am just taking her to sheep to see her natural inclinations. Each time I've had her out (no more than 4 times) she has tried harder to keep the sheep together and hold them to me. I think she looks very promising.
Mop is a working Bearded Collie.
I think Mop wants something but I'm just not sure what she's trying to say. Mop says thats what happens when you come to a place where they only speak Border Collie.
