Michael was wonderful, educational, and an all around good time for our visit. And here I'm posting months later because I had picked up a pair of wool socks.... read more And now (Jan 2024) it's blizzarding in my home state of Iowa and these have been the warmest, best socks. Today's high was -2 °F and 40 mph wind gusts. But in my boots, those socks kept me warm and comfortable.

This is a wonderful experience, I really liked it.

Great experience. Michael Crowe, a renowned sheepdog handler offers a memorable experience of seeing working border collies in action.

PS...We found a restaurant with delicious lamb last night!

Michael is the real deal! Fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at the Irish Working Sheepdog demonstration this week! Michael was funny, informative and answered any questions we had. After describing what and how... read more the dogs are trained to do, we were able to watch Maggie bring in the sheep. Then, a younger dog was put through her paces with the sheep as well.

It was awesome! Our guide was great

Excellent demo of how sheepdogs work with the farmers. Mike is a gem.

If there is one thing I can ABSOLUTELY recommend to do while in Ireland, it is to watch these working dogs! Michael was so hospitable and welcoming, considerate and overall... read more very entertaining the entire time we were there. From the moment he noticed we had small children, he switched dogs (just out of precautions, he knows his animals) he informed us of his background, gave us a wonderful lesson on the history of working dogs, taught us so much about sheep, the every day life of a sheep farmer, taught us plenty of basic tactics his dogs learned, and the demonstration was fantastic. He let us interact with fresh lambs he had on the farm, with his pups, if I could’ve taken one home I would have! Please give Michael a call, it’s an amazing opportunity to learn about an important aspect of the Irish community, and we will absolutely visit him again when we get the chance!

One of my favourite places to bring guests. Highly recommend visiting. Great for adults and children.

Very nice and interesting!

Our "host" was fantastic, explaining everything in detail and provided and excellent demo.

The demonstration and history were fascinating, and the owners were very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.

So much fun for the whole family!! Michael is amazing!
