Full Description

Without a very special kind of dog, handling New Zealand's 60 million sheep would be an impossible job. The National Sheepdog Trials - where the best of the breed show their form -are featured in this film, and leading breeder Bob Wilson demonstrates the training which produces these uncannily perceptive animals.
