Frankie the Mini Dachshund

Dachshundsare by all odds not herding dogs . They’rein the hound group , were first bred for hunt , and have teeny tiny legs that preclude them from moving very tight .

These wiener dogs , however , are far from wallflowers . “ They were multiply to hunt badgers — this is not a unsure little dog , ” Brian Kilcommons tells Daily Pawsin our breed usher .

peradventure that ’s why we get to enjoythis videoof 6 - year - old Frankie doing what is likely an splendid line herding dozens of sheep into a paddock at his farm in Australia .

“ He loves the farm biography , ” his possessor Charlie Rowlands say , agree to theDaily Mail .

Frankie obviously has some sway around the farm , as some of the sheep nearly wax on top of each other to avoid him . The telecasting is only 37 seconds long , so it appears that Frankie did n’t waste any time getting his sheep where they needed to be .

Babe the Pig

The stakes were plain in high spirits for Babe , star of the 1995 moving picture competently identify , uh , Babe . The young swine was in a sheep dog rival , being watched by C in the grandstands and more on telly .

The pig very sedately approaches his sheep and utters the“baa - Aries - ewe ” edict . About a minute afterwards , he shepherd the six sheep through the gate , into the ring , and then into the paddock to strident cheers .

It was calm , neat , and clear a perfect score from the judge . That ’ll do , pig .

The Verdict

There ’s a lot to regard here . Frankie become his high number of sheep into the paddock faster , but he was also in a confined space , which makes it comfortable . Babe , however , had an easy clock time getting his sheep to do heavy thing , let in stand in a mob , walk in a two - newspaper column origin , and go through a gate .

Here ’s the thing , though . Babe jockey . Before he herd the sheep , Rex theborder collieran out onto the field and tell him the secret “ baa - random access memory - ewe ” password . That ’s unjust , no ?

Therefore , we have no choice but to award the Best Sheep Herder Award to Frankie . Congrats to the Norbert Wiener dog .
