Duh - yes - I was thinking of Jacob sheep - the piebald ones.

I don't think that a sheepdog would be any use, as I suspect that the Soay do not flock, so any approach by a dog would result in a star shaped separation of individual sheep rather than a huddle. I think it is the long tailed sheep which flock together and the short tailed breeds which scatter - different survival tactics.

I spin and ply using both a wheel and a spindle. The process is quite labour intensive, but very satisfying.
