Freedom of Spirit Magazine REVIEW of our DVD: Border Collie Sheepdogs - Off Duty!
Sheepdog Work
The Year of the Working Sheepdog Just fabulous - a "must see" for any Border Collie or countryside lover! More info - or more DVDs.
You could ask yourself the question, 'why would I want to watch eighty minutes of someone else's dogs playing when I can get the camcorder out and watch my own?' I did, and never was I so wrong.
Time is very precious to me and when I get a chance to sit down and watch something on the television it needs to be good and it needs to keep me enthralled. I had been asked to do this review so whilst having breakfast one Saturday morning I dutifully sat down to watch with the intention of doing it in stages. Eighty minutes later I was still there!
This is a must, in fact I'd go so far as to say that anyone who has a collie should have it, then sit and watch it and marvel at how a pack of dogs interact. What I do keep saying, they are not naturally agressive, they do not run around barking, they are naturally happy and they know how to keep themselves amused.
This DVD says it all and is done in such a way that you never become bored, from older dogs working, to a pack playing with a hosepipe, an older dog teaching a puppy tug manners, to playing on the beach.
There is even a scene of just how dangerous it can be for dogs jumping, even when they are being closely monitored and the resulting trip to the vets, maybe not for the fainthearted but if you don't see it you don't realise what may be involved.
I sat and watched from start to finish with a smile on my face and the the puppies with their mum is bound to make you feel emotional, such love and tenderness. The whole package is cleverly put to music that changes with the mood of the dogs, from the puppies leaping for joy to peaceful music as they sleep.
Professionally done and not costing you a fortune but if you can only afford one don't buy it for someone for a Christmas present, be selfish and buy it for yourself! More Details or watch some Sample Clips

Read a Review or Watch a Trailer!
Watch the sheepdogs and cute puppies of Kings Green Farm relaxing together in ways the average pet owner never sees. It's a great gift for all dog lovers and children - over 80 minutes of joy for Border Collie lovers!
Imagine watching around twenty sheepdogs and cute border collie puppies racing through fields, woods and bridleways, over styles, swimming, digging, exploring, playing together - some spending a day by the sea - and Mel shooting a very funny Sega computer game advert.
Now capture the fast action, hilarious antics and delightful puppy scenes, with stunning video photography and set it to 18 powerful, and varied music tracks which fit the scenes perfectly, then add a wonderful slideshow of 32 pictures of border collies and border collie puppies.
It's fabulous entertainment for any dog loving family. You and your children will watch it over and over again!

From the Back Cover
The sadly missed BBC television programme, "One Man and His Dog" was the introduction for many to what must surely be the most versatile dog breed in the world.
Loyal, intelligent and athletic, Border Collies can be seen competing at the highest level in dog sports, dominating even Crufts' Agility, Flyball and Obedience finals, but its amazing sheep herding instinct remains the border collie sheepdog's most admired talent.
But everyone needs a holiday! Much as they enjoy their training and sheep herding, the team of working sheep dogs at Kings Green Farm is no exception
Pearl, Mel and Glen pictured on the cover all play a major part in the movie, together with other dogs who've lived here for training, or as puppies.
