At Border Collie Rescue we
assess every dog around sheep
so we can understand the
degree of herding interest and
ability of each Border Collie
we take in. Those that want to
work go to working homes,
those that don't can go as
companions.To keep the sheep
in order during assessments or
sheepdog training, we use a
trained sheepdog we call a
'control dog'. This is a video
of 'Gael' being trained to
become a future 'control dog'
for our organisation.She is
being assisted by one of our
current control dogs, Dot, who
you will see in the background
from time to time - never in
the way - but always ready!
