Holly and others, thanks for this discussion. Couldn't be more timely
for me, because I was just reviewing fleeces I'm less familiar with for
a fleece show judging assignment, where the Featured Breed in the

Funny coincidence on the name. The owner of Wellscroft fencing

border collies a lot.
I googled the fellow from Devon. Lots of hits. He's written a book about

Good morning,
Yesterday, I went out and took a good look at a sheep's face. There is a
seam that extends from the nose to the lip. At that point, the lip has
a little indentation upwards. Then I looked at my dog. Same thing.

sheepies seem to be called Down.
Oh, well, I'll just go with the term used by the Rare Breeds
Survival Trust. Wouldn't they know? But then, does anyone? LOL.
Now where did I put my Herriott books? Except wasn't he from the Dales?
Hi, Ron and List,
Looks like they make the same mistake in the UK, calling them down
breeds.
