    A lovely idea, dogs do love to bound around together and it is best way to socialise them, especially when the owners are relaxed and chatting.

    A word of warning, although I'm sure you are aware, is that sheep are lambing at this time of the year, and when dogs get excited and in a pack situation they are more likely to try to round up, and possibly nip the sheep; not maliciously 90% of the time, but the sheep and the farmer do not know that - we have recently had a warning around here that the farmer will shoot, if necessary, a dog worrying the sheep, the article in the local press came over a lot harsher, as a subsequent interview said the farmer would try to call the dog off and make it safe and trace the owner and give them a good talking to, but if needs must he would resort to the gun.
