Maybe not. But this sort of thing is why I don’t (can’t) eat lamb. Thanks to Christopher at BorderWars for sharing:

  1. LOL! Love it, love it!

    I grew up on an acre of land and we bought a couple of sheep that grew into a small herd of 7 or so. I won’t ever eat lamb either because of my love of watching lambs “pronking” (we didn’t have a word for it back then) and head butting and generally just being one of the cutest things on Earth. I’d never heard of agility at the time, but I probably wouldn’t have thought to try this anyway — I’m sure glad these folks did it, and I’m thankful for YouTube videos!

  2. Um, it’s not obvious, but the lamb is being lured from the start with the milk bottle. Sorry, not the same (IMO) as a trained obedience or agility dog — I’ll continue to enjoy my lamb shanks guilt free.

  3. Oh I saw that. Still, such cuteness!

  4. Of course the lamb is lured by the milk bottle, but the “pronking” is the lamb’s idea!

    The cats I’ve seen are lured thru the agility obstacles also. Don’t know if there are any that are willing to do it just for fun.
