Yes, this was a Basque herder, too
Going up to the North side of the
Tehachapis on the Bakersfield ( a large Basque population) area. They've done
this trek for many, many years and probably have rest stops set up all along
the way.

I used to watch the Basque herders and their large flocks on the east side of
the Sierras - one herder, his wagon, several BC type dogs and a couple of
guardian type dogs. They would stay in the area until it was grazed down and
then move on to the next valley.
It is different from the HGH style in that the countryside is wide open and you
did not need to worry about keeping the flocks out of other fields. It was very
interesting to watch. And beautiful countryside to watch it in - east of
Yosemite, south of Tioga Pass.

I loved watching it
. all 8 minutes.
Every year, we have a huge flock of sheep come down from the San Gariels, cross
the Antelope Valley and head to the Tehachapis.. over a 50 mile trek. He
usually has a Border Collie, but one year, he had a GSD
I simply stopped the
car and watched
. before I got my smart phone, of course, and no camera in the
car.

Ulf and some of his students have quite a few HGH-style herding tapes online.
This was a young dog in training.

This is a big flock that the GSD is tending.
Fun to watch the pastoral setting, too
