Border Collie Sheepdogs - Off-Duty

I was bought this a couple of years back by a friend for Christmas, I had never even heard of it un-till they but did have various other border collie videos/dvds being mad on border collies I knew I would like this dvd as it has border collies in which are my favourite breed of dog. I am reviewing the dvd version Border Collie Sheepdogs - Off Duty and as far as I am aware this is the only format it can be purchased in.

This film is about a large group of Border Collie Sheepdogs who work on a farm enjoying their spare time being allowed to just be dogs and play and have fun just like any other dog is allowed to do. This dvd includes puppies being reared and bought up with the older dogs and many other key features through out the dvd all though not worded it is still clear to understand. There are also brief scenes shown of the border collies doing what they are best bred to do, working sheep on a working farm.
The 20 border collies are running over farm land enjoying them selves whilst 18 sound tracks are played. Several colours and coat typed border collies are included in this dvd not just the traditional black and white colours everyone thinks of when you mention border collies. There are no voices or wording throughout the film so it is basically a video of a group of dog's life with music in the background lasting around 80minutes. This is quite a long time and can get boring unless you really love this breed of dog.

It was produced by Andy Nickless him and his partner train border collies at Kings Green Farm here they also breed their border collies for sheep work and occasionally breed International Sheepdog Society registered litters available to working homes. The dogs they breed will be the ones shown within this dvd. Andy is a professional photographer/videgrapher and has produced this dvd in his spare time. The same dogs from this dvd have also made other television appearances.

This dvd came out in September 2005 and is highly popular with border collie lovers especially those with working border collies such as those doing agility, flyball etc.

I would definitely recommend this dvd it isn't really one you can watch over and over again but is definitely worth watching!
It captures the border collies active nature and personality brilliantly.

This dvd is available on Amazon and the workingsheepdog website for around £15 this is quite expensive and it hasn't dropped in price at all since it came out, you might be able to get a cheaper copy from eBay though.
