Sheep-herding dog demonstration

A little farther up the road we stopped at a tiny farm where this gentleman puts on a highly entertaining demonstartion of his dogs' shephereding skills. The last time we visited Ireland we also went to this show. That day it was misty and rainy but with a small crowd. On this glorious day we had to wait for the shepherd to finish his show for a group of about 100 Germans. This is the beginning of our tour where we were combined with a couple of other busloads of tourists. The shepherd is pointing out the many types of sheep raised in Ireland. Not quite as diverse as the selection in New Zealand but still pretty impressive.
