Meet Whiplash's Friends

    The dogs that work with Whiplash are a special breed of animal; many have come from Scotland and England.  They are born to herd sheep and goats, but like any youngster they have to develop this natural talent. They are the happiest when they are able to herd a flock and gather them into a pasture or pen. The dogs that perform with Whiplash are the best of the best in the world.

    Tommy trains each dog; helping them develop at their own rate. Each is born with a natural talent, it is up to Tommy to help each develop that talent and become a star. Performing in front of an audience with all the noise and distractions is not easy. They must give their full attention to the task at hand.  But what makes them happy also brings joy to audiences everywhere. If you look closely, you may see a smile on their face when the sheep are finally rounded up. Tommy rewards them with a treat and a well earned pat on the head.

Let’s meet them:

    Ben – He was the daddy of the group.  Born is Scotland, this Border collie had been a member the Tommy Lucia family since he was two. He will go down in history as one of the greatest dogs we have ever had the pleasure to work with.  He had an attitude matched only by Whiplash, the heart of a lion. He was the most loyal and courageous dog ever. We are sure that he is looking down on Tommy, Whiplash and the others every time they perform.

    Bud – He is a true Texan, happy go lucky. He also joined the Tommy Lucia family when he was two.  A talented sheep dog, his trademark is following the sheep up the ramp to make sure they go where they were supposed.  The first time he did this, the audience went wild, he has been doing it ever since.

    Toby – He is the newest member of the family.  He is coming along, becoming a star in his own right.  He loves to jump and play during his free time. Look for him to become a fan favorite in the years to come.
