A super experience, so unique and memorable! I visited solo 10 years ago and returned with my family this year. On both occasions there was a litter of adorable sheepdog pups. Joe is welcoming and gives great insight into how he uses sheepdog on his farm. The demonstration is unbelievable! You have to go and see it if you are anywhere nearby!

What a great trip out to meet Joe Joyce and get to see the boarder collies put through their paces. Joe is an absolute gentleman, very generous with his time. The children loved holding the puppies and jumping on the trampoline with the goats! It was the highlight of our trip. Thanks so much!

Joe’s border collie were so much fun to watch! It’s incredible to see how connected he is with the dogs and even more amazing to see how the work together! Joe was really informative and made the whole demonstration really fun and engaging. There were even some puppies who were absolutely adorable and chaotic. We got to feed a baby lamb, too. This is all around a really wonderful experience that you don’t want to miss!

I liked this road more than Sky Road. I love mountains and lakes. Everything is here at once! A picturesque place, but you need to be careful, there are sheep running along the road. The road is narrow in places but incredibly beautiful, I am glad that I made the right choice and went here. I want to come back again and again and again! It is just as beautiful as among the mountains of Kerry. Ireland is a magnificent country!
