You should definitely bring them up soon! The grass is green and the wildflowers are blooming… but I don't know how much longer that situation will last given our disastrous rainy season.
From my experience, the best thing you can do to get a dog ready to start on sheep is make sure they have a dependable and immediate "Lie down!"
BTW, we are giving serious thought to getting sheep. It pretty much depends on getting money to afford the fencing now. I really want to get Tay back on sheep* and have been thinking about the possibility of "starting" pups for extra money.
