As Northern Ireland prepares to host the World Sheepdog Trails, a father and daughter from Limavady are sharing the secrets of sheepdog training 🐑
Shannon Conn, secretary of the North of Ireland Sheepdog Society, wants to encourage people into trialling
"We need to bring new people into it. It's a sport older people do and there's not a lot of the younger generation," said Shannon Conn. That is why she and her father, Loughlin Conn, hosted a training session at their farm outside Limavady. "But for a trial dog they need to be obedient, they need to listen to everything. It's hard to get a trial dog to be honest - to take it to the next step."On farms, everything from milking to mowing can be done by a machine, but a sheepdog is irreplaceable.
