Aberdeenshire Sheepdogs

Located on a farm near the town of Ellon, just 15 minutes from Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire Sheepdogs offers your clients the opportunity to experience sheepdogs at work during this interactive demonstration.

Michelle and Gary Bruce will share their experiences working, training and trialling with their 5 Border Collies and share stories about life on a Scottish sheep farm. Your clients will be invited to meet the dogs and will have the opportunity to try working the dogs themselves.

Aberdeenshire Sheepdogs offer experiences suitable for groups.

INTERESTING FACTS

• Michelle and Gary’s Collies range from 9-month-old puppies to 6.5 years old, therefore your clients will be able to experience the sheepdogs throughout the various stages of their training.
