Come and see the captivating collies showcase their skills in daily demonstrations against the backdrop of the 1,000 year old fort, perfectly preserved and still yielding fascinating treasures.

No visit to the Burren is complete without experiencing the wonders of Caherconnell, featuring Clare's only sheepdog demonstration and a wonderous fort dating back to 10th century.

Meet the Caherconnell Collies: Sheltered from the weather enjoy our Caherconnell shepherds showing great skill working with our clever captivating collies to provide phenomenal sheep dog demonstrations. Young and old alike are enthralled and enraptured by the collie's skills and enthusiasm, better still there is always plenty of time for doggy cuddles and selfies after their hard work.

Demonstrations: The shepherd will guide the dogs to retrieve the sheep from out in the Burren landscape and skillfully drive them back to their holding. Using whistle and voice the shepherd displays a symbiotic relationship with his loyal dogs who display tenacity and utter focus, they do not relax until their job is done. Then it is play time as the shepherd explains the various breeds whilst the dogs lollop for belly rubs and cuddles. Baby lambs are also available for cuddles and there are lots of opportunities for photos and selfies with our very photogenic animals (and shepherds!).
