点评:I got to experience Atlantic Sheepdogs as part of my Irish Adventure tour run by CIE Tours (you can read my review of the amazing Irish Adventure tour on CIE’s TripAdvisor page). I am so delighted that I got to visit Atlantic Sheepdogs.
This was hands-down my favorite stop of the entire 9-day tour. We got to watch the incredible Mo, a tiny but mighty Border Collie, show off her skills…and she was absolutely amazing! Mo ranks in the top 10 out of around 600 sheepdogs from across Ireland and the UK, and it was easy to see why. She clearly loves what she does and is unbelievably good at it.
Her handler, Martin, had her separate three sheep from the herd, and she did it with total precision and ease. It was fascinating to watch that level of communication and teamwork. As a bonus, Mo was also incredibly sweet and seemed to take a special liking to one of our group, which made the experience even more fun.
After the demonstration, we got to meet some of the sheep up close, including a few special breeds. One in particular just wanted to cuddle and be petted… she was the sweetest! I even got to hold a baby lamb, which completely made my day.
This experience was fun, interactive, and unforgettable. If you’re anywhere near Sligo, do not miss this. It’s something really special!
翻译:我有幸参加了CIE Tours组织的爱尔兰探险之旅,并体验了大西洋牧羊犬舍(您可以在CIE的TripAdvisor页面上阅读我对这次精彩爱尔兰探险之旅的评论)。能有机会参观大西洋牧羊犬舍,我感到无比兴奋。
这绝对是我整个9天旅程中最喜欢的一站。我们亲眼目睹了令人惊叹的莫(Mo)——一只体型娇小却力大无穷的边境牧羊犬——展示她的技能……她简直太棒了!莫在爱尔兰和英国约600只牧羊犬中名列前十,这很容易理解。她显然热爱自己的工作,而且做得非常出色。
她的训犬员马丁(Martin)让她从羊群中分出三只羊,她完成得精准而轻松。亲眼目睹这种高水平的沟通和团队合作真是令人着迷。更令人惊喜的是,莫非常温顺可爱,似乎对我们团里的一位成员格外有好感,这让整个体验更加有趣。
演示结束后,我们有机会近距离接触了一些绵羊,其中还有几个特别的品种。有一只特别黏人,特别想让人抱抱抚摸……它真是太可爱了!我甚至还抱到了一只小羊羔,这让我开心极了。
这次体验既有趣又互动性强,而且令人难忘。如果你有机会去斯莱戈附近,千万不要错过!这绝对是一次难忘的经历!
