Better than 'Lassie come Home'
A BBC production that ran from early 70's to 2001. This is the ultimate in viewing for anyone who loves Animal Precinct or anyone who loves any kind of dog antics. or Sunday afternoon Coach Potatoes it is a must. This is a competitive sport where a variety of dog owners, standing very still, get their dog (usually a Border Collie) to round up a flock of sheep, cut one out of the flock and drive the remainder into a Sheep Pen all by use of a variation of the pursed lip (whistling). Sometimes they use two dogs with more sheep (and even more variation of whistling). The commentators are droll and quite blase' about the events, with such commentary as:- "Arrr, now he went a bit wide there" (Regardless of the fact that the dog is performing a minor miracle). Alas it has been discontinued by the BBC but there was a phenomenal following of it and it even made across the pond for a brief period.
