This dog is a border collie called Eve, her beautiful coat colouring is described as red.
I met Eve and her owner Eric whilst walking on the towpath of the Leeds - Liverpool canal some miles from where I live. When I saw this dog I just had to say hello and how much I loved her colouring.
Eve is part pet and part working dog, working as she does with a small herd of sheep. Eve is now two years old and loves the exercise, she like most of her breed is pretty smart.
Herding sheep is no challenge for a dog like Eve, but geese are as she discovered something else. The one quirk in Eve's temperament is that she is not too keen on water, so the geese were beyond her scope.
I hope to catch up with Eve sometime in the not too distant future and watch her at work in the fields with the sheep.
By an odd chance there is a great story about another red collie in the paper today.

Geese herding is probably very hard and might be fun to watch as well!
