SHEEP DOGS INTELLIGENCE.
some Interesting Experiments Per-
formed at the Trials of
the Co1lies.


Since the introduction Of shccp-dog
trials IN Wales and England. this high
ly interesting and instructive sport is
becoming yearly more popular. On
fine day il would indeed be difficult 10
find a more interesting sight than the
highly trained shepherds dog, or col
lie, working the little fock of three OF
the widest sheep over the course in
most wonderful manner The friendli-
ness and jovial g,od- humor Of the own
trs Of dogs toward one another are In
marked contrast to the jcaousies SO
often present al sporting meetings.
added TO which the fresh air healthy
surroundings and gny throngs 90 to
make a thorough days enjoyment.
The shepherd working the dog

yards Al given signal three sheep

herd then sends his dog TO the sheep.
which are 10 be driven in the direction
Indicated by The arrows and bctwecn
the hurdles; II any Of the sheep go out
side the hurdles the dog must bring
them back and take them the proper
course. to the triangular pen of three
hurdles. which has an opening of 22
inches. or just wide enough to allow one
sheep TO enker at time; be has then to
pen them. the time allowed being 10
minutes from the time the three sheep
are first liberated. The worker of the
dog Is allowed TO assist. without. how
ever, touching the sheep when the dog
has brought them up TO the pen. The
shepherd works the dog almost entire
~ by whistling or motions. Often the
sheep separate at the commencement;
the dog has then 20 bring them to-
gether and start with his charge at the
proper place. The competitor may be
successful in driving his three sheep up
to the pen at the end of the trial; he
has then had a most difficult task. and
the utmost patience and skin are then
required. as only one sheep can enter
at time. and the other two will often
go outside the pen. II is then the dogs
sagacity is shown. lie win crawl on
his belly like a cat, and quietly drive
them inch by inch until he gets them
in the opening and the three jostlcd into
the pen.
Another innovation has lately been
introduced at some trials. The shep-
herd marks three sheep, which are
driven among a flock of about hun
dred or more. The dog has then to
find the marked sheep and bring them
from among the others, which he does
showing wonderful sagacity and intel
ligence in doing so.
In training collies, the young dogs are
generally taught by accompanying old
dogs. Months of patient toll are re
quired to fit them to compete at trial,
successfully. The young dog is very
wild and apt to overrun the sheep, IL
which case the shepherd often has {,
devise a means TO hold him in check
which he does by tying up one Of his
front paws with his pocket handker
chief around the dogs neck, thus leav
ing the dog only three legs 10 run on
and il is surprising how soon the dol
understands its meaning. - Ludgat'
