I usually never really comment but I honestly could’ve watched hours of you guys talking about keeping sheep. I‘m so impressed with the videography, the story telling and obviously the protagonist’s.

Couldn't agree more, I really enjoyed the back and forth and obviously watching these super dogs working. It only felt like it was on for a couple of minutes when it was actually over 20. Time flies when you're having fun as the old saying goes.

This has turned into one of my favorite channels on KZread. You are a boss, Brad!

I just want to watch Paddy Fanning and his dogs all day now

Your journey as an independent YTer just keeps getting better. This video is top notch, showing the incredible skill of working dogs and their farmers. Thank you

​@@bradleoneIt came across so clearly that you really enjoyed yourself Brad. Your witty banter back and forth with Paddy was so natural and organic. Keep up the amazing work and I wish you all the luck that you deserve with your channel.

When I visited Ireland in the early 00s, I saw a man who trained his dogs like that to bring the sheep down from the hills. Each dog was trained for a different sound of whistles. It was so fascinating and fun to watch those dogs work. Even in the fog, when you couldn't really see where the sheep were at.

not sure how this pop up in my recommended list but boy am I glad it did. Fantastic Story telling.

I could have watched that for hours! AMAZING dogs, great people ❤️

Brad's becoming a local legend himself in his ability to put out amazing video content.

More episodes with this guy, Paddy is a true fricken legend!

The lives of shepherds and their canine companions seem idyllic and harmonious. What a simple and fulfilling existence.

Can be hard work and long hours but I'd rather have it over working in an office without a shadow of doubt. So rewarding working with these amazing dogs, no other breed comes even close to everything about them in my eyes.

YES BRAD! Never thought you would be doing a local legends in Ireland. Glad you loved our homeland. You’re welcome back any time! 🇮🇪🍀

Sitting in New Zealand with my heading dog and she’s losing it with all the whistling going on 😂 loved this episode and would love to see more like it. The farmers out here are feeding the world and are affected by everything from weather/climate impacts and social and political issues. The more understanding people have on what it takes to get the food on the table the more we will appreciate the hard work and resources that go into it!

I see "Brad + Sheepdog", I clicked immediately. The epic music at the beginning really revved up my heart's love for Border Collies I got from watching Babe as a kiddo 🖤

Brad, you and the team killed it. Thank you for this beautiful film, and thank you paddy.

Paddy is my new spirit animal

My only complaint is that I wish this video was longer! I could watch Paddy and Brad all day! ❤ I am so thankful Brad has his own channel doing what he loves and sharing it with all of us!

Wonderful to see true working dogs in such a beautiful place. There are few happier things than a busy sheepdog.

Could not agree more if I tried, you really hit the nail on the head. What a beautiful sight to behold, especially when you've got these a-holes running around a show ring with dogs who commentators describe as fit for function when in fact the poor dogs wouldn't be able to do a thing with the brain and body these horrible people have designed to try and win ribbons and trophies. I truly feel sorry for those poor unfortunate dogs.

As a Border Collie owner, this is my favorite film of Local Legends yet! My girl Jillie was a great girl. Thank you Paddy,family and friends for the look at what you are doing.

You and the team have hit on some magic here Brad. There's an ill-defined border between sterile documentary and engaging IRL travel/cooking, and it's frankly shocking that you've managed to strike that golden balance so quickly in your solo venture. Mad props to you and your team, because you're maybe one of the most videogenic individuals alive, but without that team putting you in the right places with the right camera operators and the right people of interest, all that charisma doesn't do much. Hope you guys can keep it up for a good long while!

This is probably my favorite episode of local legends.

Fucking love the Irish, some of my favorite people on earth

Great video. We own a border jack, but she's definitely is more border collie than jack russell. But she the smartest dog I have ever owned. She knows more words than some people I know. I think she missed her calling as a drug sniffing dog, because she track and smell like nothing I've seen. She has been our faithful companion as we travel around North America.

I have watched this at least 10 times. You're one of us now, Brad! Good Irish soul on ya

wowww, i thought i couldnt love brad more, but now i get to see him with dogs!

Fantastic! Had a Border Collie cross breed back in the 90's that could have escaped from bloody Alcatraz. Came home from work several times to find him out and about, "herding" the elementary school kids into two groups--one on each side of the street. Kids were laughing their asses off and trying to outsmart him. Mortified me (because WTF--parents are weird) and then I figured out that when the kids held their area, Wiley would run up to them and lay down. And get scratched up and belly rubbed. The damned dog trained the kids to give him belly rubs! Miss that mutt.

Best video since leaving BOnapp!!! Really it reminds me of the time with Vince. Great funny and not too much scripted! And Paddy is a true sport for giving you such a great story

This was fabulous! Paddy and Brad are great together! I loved this!

Enjoy Ireland while it's still here, everyone.

I love my Border Collie! One of the most perfect creatures ever created.

The two of you is amazing combination. Paddy and Brad ❤

Absolutely loved this. The way you encapsulated the story but also allowed us to really understand what and why was going on was wonderful. My wife and I loved every moment of it. Sharing with my parents as we’re fish out of water, English living in Texas, and this brings so much joy. Wonderful work as always to Brad and the team, and a big thank you to these wonderful Irish lads!

These guys are proper legends, seem like genuinely nice guys

Paddy, of course his name is Paddy!!! wool is making a comeback! yay, ty

Brad is Bruce, and Bruce is Brad. Eager, willing, outgoing, people-pleasing, insanely hyper, lovable. Fantastic episode!

I agree with every single word you said, great comment.

Brad is lokey becoming one of the best KZreadrs out there. Look out, probably getting picked up by a big streaming company

you topped it Brad with this one.... lots of fun , and was blown away with the dogs and most of all Paddy..... keep it up Brad

My wool knitting heart shed tears. We want your wool, Paddy!

Bruce is a wee fluffy legend

This is probably the best episode Brad has ever done...maybe a tie with the Bills Mafia but just barely.

Im always so happy for breeds like border collies that actually get to work the way they were bred instead of being cooped up in a small yard or apartment. When I lived in Ireland, there were always loose dogs on the roads and the worst were the border collies because they'd try to chase the cars. I was always so worried Id hit them when they'd dart out of their yard after me.

This is my favorite video you have ever made. Paddy is hilarious, and i am utterly mesmerized watching that little crack head bruce herding sheep. this was incredible

I love this kind of content, I'd never get to see anything like this if not for brad just being himself.

This made me miss home! Up Wicklow!

"I want to be a goooat" I love Paddy he's so funny 😂👏 And now I'm imagining a hawk with just the most ADHD and boy I'd watch that cartoon.

I never really comment on anything, but I just wanted to express how amazing this episode was. Huge fan Brad, keep up the amazing work!

brad in the emerald isle!! he was made for this craic. i’m also really surprised they didn’t give Paddy subtitles.

I would love to hear the story of his journey with the 82nd Airborne. Airborne All The Way, brother.

I'm delighted to call Wicklow my home, I've hiked all those hills, I highly reccomend anyone to visit.

Welcome to my homeland Ireland! Slainte

Best episode of local legends so far.

This was so much better than the Matty spearfishing episode! An I love spearfishing and the Matty and Brad combo

I not Gona lie this video has blown my mind

Love the Irish loved his accent, funny person loved the video, very interesting dogs brilliant ❤️❤️❤️

This is very high quality. Good job on having TV quality without the TV nonsense

Don't know who had a better time here: the dogs, Brad, or me! All of Brad's best in one video. Lucky Brad for spending time in Ireland with Paddy, lucky us to witness it.

Honestly watching Brad's videos bring me so much joy. I've found his videos years ago from the fermentation stations to watching him in the hills with sheep dogs. If I could ever choose a life or career path, it would be like brads. Passion for food, connecting, and learning. Thank you for what you do. ❤

That top down drone whistle demonstration was amazing. Speechless

This was my favorite so far ❤❤ ☘️ 🇮🇪

Greetings, Laughed out loud more than once! Brad, I have been following your channel since Fermentation Station. Cheers, Rachel 🍷

This came out at the perfect time. I'm going to Ireland for the first time in a month and it's great seeing you out there showing off the country side

Love this- lived in Ireland for a bit and Paddy reminds me of so many good people I met over there. Also, heads up, Auld Lang Syne is a SCOTTISH song, so might want to swap that out.

Love Ireland

unreal episode brad, would love some more irish content

Brad - Thank you for this! Ireland so beautiful but it is the people who are really the heart - the people, and the dogs!

I could watch this for month and years! Didn't know i need a Brad in Ireland series but now i do. Scotland and the smaller islands as well might be wonderful.

This one is epic! Brad a Paddy are a match made in heaven! 😂

Oh the way this video made me so unbelievably happy!! What an incredible thing these folks do, continuing on the shepherd tradition. Thank you Brad for showing us true Ireland!

How is Brad still under 1M subs? A true legend himself!

So happy to see you in Ireland! Been watching you nearly 10 year and always hoped that you'd come , Sláinte Brad ☘

This was a fantastic watch! Fair play, Brad! And Paddy is 100% the definition of 'great craic' 👏🏻

Had the chance to tour western Ireland last spring. Had a wonderful time. Thanks for taking me back.

I can only assume Brad values his semi anonymous family/foodie life, otherwise some big network would snatch him up!! He would be as big as Somebody Feed Phil or No Reservations EASY, but I just love the wholesomeness of his journeys. Stay "small" while you can Brad

I love the opening clip with the Labrador and the two Border Collies!

I love border collies. When my mom passed 10 years ago we adopted her border collie Fly. Fly was such a good dog, she watched over the chickens every day. Fly passed away in November sadly.

Welcome to my homeland @Brad Leone ❤

😂 Paddy's got me rolling!

Smiled all the way through.

😂😂😂😂love that paddy had to do as many opening takes as brad does 👻🖤

Was staying in east Donegal neighbour had a couple collies I called Cheech and Chong cheeky feckers always shitein in our boarders. Just put some pieces of whitethorn down, didn't happen again. Neighbour obviously a younger son as didn't get the farm, but one day brought back a couple of orphaned lamb and just had them penned on the shared green (can;t complain he cut the grass for free), I think to teach his son. They were there for months beetling at everything that moved including crows. Fun times.

This is the best thing i have seen literally ever!!! Sooooo good

Yea such a gem.

By far the best episode so far.

Paddy! I'm wearing more wool! Tis grand! Even in summer! Summer weight wools are like natures air foam! Especially if you lanolize them. I lanolize all my sweaters

that was a great episode. I lived for a few years in New Zealand, and was lucky to spend a fair bit of time on some farms doing some hunting. But when the farmer was out working with his dogs it was very impressive to see. I could get lost in time for hours watching a set of dogs work livestock.

That outro was so Bourdain-esque that i forgot who I was watching for a moment. Brilliant stuff!

Magnificent creatures these sheepdogs are. Takes a lot to train them i bet, hats off to paddy and jim.

Dude, your videos get me through the hard times. Sláinte lad.

Yet another fab Local Legends. Cheers for all you do brad. Legend yourself

This hits the right spots! Gotta love dogs!

Oh gosh I'm only at the intro and I can tell I'm gonna absolutely love this video ❤❤❤

Watching Brad for years an always thought he'd do well in Ireland, mon back some day kid!!

This was a fantastic video, I could watch hours of these dogs doing their jobs, such an awesome relationship.

Absolutely loved this vid....love the scenery and the BC's
