Martha sent me an early October video of 4 month-old Rain working sheep with her son Ed. Rain has nice pace and calm, unlike my lot. Rain is a 3 on the power / intensity scale. Mine are 4’s and 5’s.

3’s are good for most small farm purposes. They are also better all around dogs, doubling as companions. 4’s and 5’s are pushy, intense dogs that require holding back, harder to train, and best suited to demanding work.

Martha writes of Rain:

“He is a beaut. And a perfect personality. Warm, sweet, diplomatic, and smart as a whip.”
