Observe Border collies at work and at play! On farms in Tennessee and Virginia, Border Collies herd sheep, cows and even a 2000 lb. bull! We meet Trish McConnell, an animal behaviorist, talk show host, and owner of 4 border collies. As we watch them we learn about the advantages and disadvantages of owning this breed. Originally bred along the borderlands of Scotland, these animals have an amazing ability to control sheep with "eye" and "clapping". If you don't own a farm, practice Flyball with your dog. Footage from the Houston National Show will show you how.
