Dog tired of sheep life now wants to be with humans

  • A five-year-old Border Collie named Sam, bred for herding sheep in Cumbria, did not develop the drive needed for farm work and prefers spending time with humans instead.
  • Sam failed to progress in training alongside other young sheepdogs due to his lack of enthusiasm for herding sheep.
  • Marion Yates, general manager at Animal Rescue Cumbria, stated that farmers need dogs with real drive to herd sheep, whereas Sam prefers human companionship.
  • Sam is now cared for by an animal sanctuary that takes in working dogs more suited as family pets.
