From Z to A with Sheepdogs.
A title for the book? One day maybe!, its true though as "ZA" are the letters used for South Africa, the origin being Suid Afrik, the Afrikaans word for South Africa. Now we live in County Angus, Scotland.

So at the moment the title can be made to fit.

 

Zimbabwe

Of course it started in Zimbabwe where I was born and raised on a farm with 1000 head of Pedigree Brahman cattle and 30 thoroughbred racehorse mares and one Stallion "Centre Court", and an Uncle who never married and insisted on leaving me and my sisters a horse and five cattle.

 

South Africa

But it really started in South Africa when I purchased my first Border Collie.

England
Contract shepherding, honing my handling skills doing real work with the dogs.

 

Angus, Scotland
Fate and I now consider; luck landed me - in a hurry - in Angus, the birthplace of Scotland and gave me the opportunity of farming for myself instead of as an employee.
