Without a very special kind of dog, handling New Zealand's 60 million sheep would be an impossible job. The National Sheepdog Trials, where the best of the breed show their form, are featured in this film and leading breeder Bob Wilson demonstrates the training which produces these uncannily perceptive animals.
