The photos below were taken of the "Wooly Weeders" at Cline Cellars. Look closely and you will see that there is just one dog herding the entire flock of sheep in an unfenced vineyard. You can see, as the photos progress, that the dog gets increasingly protective of the sheep. Extremely impressive.

Check out the black sheep...

At first I didn't see the dog and couldn't understand why all the sheep went from one end of the vineyard to the other, without me even hearing a sound. (The dogs can control the sheep with non-verbal communication.)

The dog gives me some slack and starts to mingle...

The little guys seem a little confused...

see what I mean?...

so cute...

This one was very vocal, and hams it up for the camera

The dog is getting annoyed with me and reenters the picture...

"off you go" he tells me...

He's had enough of me and sends me on my way, barking. Amazing beast.
