A Sheep question, can anyone help?

My hubby is a tanker driver and while out at work the other day he passed a field
he said there were quite a few sheep in it and they looked like dalmations, he said they all had quite big black spots on them
now what we want to know is. is this a certain breed of sheep? has anyone seen or heard of these kind of sheep before?

Not sure if this is what your hubby saw, but there is a small herd of Jacob sheep near us, and they look very similar to what he described

yep thanx CLMG that is what they are, i used my head and did a google search on spotted sheep
they say they make excellent pets

LOL - definitely sound like Jacob Sheep - a very ancient breed.

Moobli i want one now
hubby has started something!!!!

You'd have to make room first Jackie, maybe let me have your Eclectus , that should free up some space

i was thinking of putting one in the third garden right by their avairy

Must admit I have a soft spot for them, but the only ones I have had anything to do with were not the easiest to handle

Nooooo you don't want a Jacob ... Herdwicks are FAR cuter

See ...

Jeanette so you have worked with these sheep
on a website i read i read it says they make good pets, so i suppose that aint really true then?

oh well nevermind, i could always take it to training classes
