Border Collie Rescue - Masham Sheep Fair

Описание: A little bit of what went on at Masham Sheep Fair, September 2012.
There's a lot of stuff going on at the event that has not been included in this film.
Craft fairs, wool sales, demonstrations, theatrics, fun fair, market stalls, brewery tours (did you know Masham has 2 acclaimed breweries - Theakstons and Black Sheep?)
Masham Sheep Fair is on every year and it's free!

Appologies for some dodgy camera work in places. Tried to edit the worst of it out. There are reasons, but no real excuses. Sorry!

The Border Collie is designed to be a sheepdog and was originally used for herding livestock in the English and Scottish Borders. Border Collie Rescue assesses all dogs coming into our care for herding ability and will rehome them as stockdogs if that is what they need to do but we also assess and rehome for scent discrimination skills to the Police, Prison Service and Excise to detect drugs, explosives and firearms -- to SARDA and other rescue organisations for mountain rescue and search and rescue work -- to help deaf, blind or otherwise disabled people as well as for working trials, flyball, agility, obedience and other interactive sporting disciplines and many of our dogs have qualified for Crufts in these disciplines. Those that show us they do not need or want to work are rehomed as PAT dogs, pets and companions.
