Some of them work in the UK too
My big lad, now nine years old, is really useful on the farm, and we only moved here 4 years ago so he didn't start til he was five. He's great at helping to move the sheep and the cows. He was invaluable at the weekend when we had to move sheep about. One of my bitches tries to help but gets a bit excited. But she will run from side to side behind them, following movements of my arms - and she's 8. There have been times when we wouldn't have got the cows into the barn without them.
