Meet Mo – Our Star and Champion Collie
Say hello to Mo, Atlantic Sheepdogs’ “tiny firecracker” and one of our brightest stars. In 2023, Mo proudly represented Ireland at the prestigious International Sheepdog Championships—and what a journey it was. Alongside Martin, Mo navigated a fierce field of 600 of the best sheepdogs from across Ireland and the UK to secure an astonishing 10th place finish in the Supreme Championship
A Champion’s Story
Don’t let her size fool you: Mo is a powerhouse. She’s quick on her paws, razor-sharp in focus, and unstoppable in her drive to work. From gathering and driving sheep with lightning precision to navigating complex obstacles, Mo thrives under pressure—making every demonstration a thrilling spectacle for our guests.
The Dynamic Duo: Mo & Martin
Mo and Martin share an extraordinary bond—built on mutual trust, unspoken understanding, and countless hours of training together. Every movement and command are executed with seamless grace, showing off not just Mo’s elite training, but also Martin’s skill and empathy as a handler.
