Watch sheepdogs show off their prodigious talents for herding at the family farm of FJ and Meghan Cunningham. On the way there, you will pause for photos at Silver Strand, a little-known horseshoe-shaped beach on the Wild Atlantic Way coastal road. The Cunningham’s farm is also wonderfully picturesque and an ideal setting for raising border collie sheepdogs. FJ has been training sheepdogs since he was a boy and the communication between him and the animals is remarkable. During the demonstration, they will obey FJ’s verbal commands to move the sheep clockwise, counterclockwise or however else he asks. The intelligence, stamina and agility of these invaluable working dogs will soon be obvious. You will enjoy another glimpse at traditional life in County Donegal while stopping for fresh-baked scones in the village of Carrick.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Watch sheepdogs demonstrate their remarkable herding abilities at a family farm.
• Pause for photos at beautiful Silver Strand, a remote beach known mostly to locals.
