Amanda Owen posted on her Instagram, “A long distance video that might go some way in demonstrating how intelligent, intuitive & devoted to her work Kate was.
“In the first video she is running alone, maybe a mile or so away but I know, that she absolutely knows what the task is.
The last video was only a week ago when she was showing Nelly the young sheepdog how to ignore the distraction of chattering children.
The videos are very, very impressive. Kate the sheepdog can be seen miles away herding sheep over the Yorkshire Dales landscape showing incredible skill.
