The Sheep Centre – Vets in Penrith
Clinic Overview
The Sheep Centre describes itself as a dedicated sheep artificial breeding company (rather than a small-animal veterinary clinic). The website focuses on sheep reproduction work—such as semen freezing and assisted breeding—and also offers training (including cervical AI training). Recent Google reviews, however, largely discuss a public-facing sheepdog demonstration: visitors describe an evening/weekly demo led by a host and family team, with multiple dogs of different ages and training stages, and the chance to meet the dogs before the demo. One reviewer also noted that dogs are allowed to attend on leads.

Amazing presentation! The dogs were all so friendly and it was so cool to see all their different personalities shine through in their work. Very impressive dogs, and the bond between the dogs and Garry was amazing to see. Worth every penny, would highly recommend!

We went along to this evening's Sheepdog Demonstration which we enjoyed so much. The dogs are quite incredible and definitely the stars of the show. This is something not to be missed. The evening was extremely well presented by all members of the family (human and canine).

We went to the weekly sheepdog demonstration and it was incredible!! It was an entertaining and informative session with passionate people, talented (and gorgeous) dogs! They have sheep dogs of all ages and various stages of training to showcase the natural talent and instinct of the dogs at a young age, and how they learn work so efficiently with humans. You also get to meet all of the beautiful dogs before the demonstration! They told us about the ways they farm in environmentally conscious ways which increase the diversity of flora and fauna on their farms and protect the nearby water systems as well! Thank you so much to the folks at Miller Farming for the highlight of our Lake District Trip!

This is a really good event. The host speaks very well and entertainingly tells about his life, his farm, and sheep dogs. The demonstration is very interesting, and I got a lot from it. Well worth the trip and the money. Thanks!
