I cannot hear this phrase without thinking of the Cornwall shepherd I heard uttering these words in a documentary film.

The sheepdog, who had just completed fetching four sheep, driving them out as a group through gates and back to the handler, then away and across the field into a paddock, periodically hunkering down to avoid panicking the sheep, all in response to direction from individual whistled commands, finally heard, after the totality of its magnificent and skilful work, the shepherd laconically saying: "That'll do, Laddie. That'll do." For the shepherd, these words are indeed the highest possible form of praise for a perfectly executed sheepdog trial.
