Cats are the overlords of the internet. I love cats too, but cats were domesticated so they could stick around villages and help catch mice. Dogs, on the other hand, have been running alongside ancient humans participating in the hunt.
Hi BBC Earth! It could be a nice idea to insert subtitles to the video. It'll be easier to understand for many people across the world. Children can improve their level of English while reading and watching your really interesting and beautiful footage
@Gorb Locke: It's the Welsh accent. This farmer is very likely a native Welsh speaker - we sound like this when we speak in English. People in this area, will use Welsh on a daily basis. His idioms and way of speaking is very reflective of the Welsh language. As the narrative says, he uses Welsh for one dog and English for the other.
sound is important for a shepard to be able to give their doggos commands and whistles from a distance as well as the advantageous terrain for containing sound
I’m in the USA & saw a great program about these awesome Welsh sheep dogs ( how they use different methods than border collies etc ) But the Shepard’s are the most amazing men I’ve ever seen! Welsh farmers are the sexiest men since the American cowboy! Watching them work w their dogs is a beautiful thing!
DragoN 3 PG Yeah. I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that people who live outside of big cities live longer on average. We get so used to the stress of modern life we often dont realize how bad it can be for our health.
I was gonna ask the same thing. It sounds very much like the music from the Andes region of Bolivia, north of Argentina and Peru, played in a charango (small 10 string guitar).
Completely unrelated: I've just been watching Jane the Virgin, and hearing the "Lela" song on a random video I found while researching the dog breed, I was pleasantly surprised to recognise the background track
There's a cute baby at 1:48. also can someone explain why the sheep need to get from point A to point B? and why were they at point A in the first place? sorry if it's a stupid question
@urbanbananaslug: Sheep in North Wales are either kept in fields, surrounded by a stone wall, fence, hedge or they are left to roam on mountains. These mountains may be owned by the farmer or the farmer owns grazing rights to the part of the mountain he/she is using. Sometimes, the mountain and the grazing rights are one and the same as with my father's farm. Sheep are high maintenance and are prone to disease if the wool around their tails/anus is not trimmed and checked for maggots which left untreated could kill the animal. Also, by law, they need to be dipped in insecticide and fungicide one a year (usually at the beginning of summer) and also need to be sheared in the summer. Their hooves also have to be trimmed (just like a human cutting their nails) and vaccines etc. need to be administered at various times during the year. Also, they simply have to be moved to new pastures to allow the grass where they were to grow back again. Therefore, they will go from one place to another throughout the year. Hope that helps.
Trust me, it is hard work and is not a job that will make you rich! I grew up on a hill farm in North Wales and my brother continues to farm. In February/March, sleeping in the barn (or house if is close by) and waking up every two hours or so to check on the ewes lambing (those closest to giving birth are typically brought into the barn/shed) so that any that are having difficulties giving birth can be helped is an annual event. Then there is dipping (a compulsory bath in a liquid formulation of insecticide and fungicide), shearing and regular checks for maggots, hoof clipping/trimming etc. But, you do get to enjoy the seasons and have a much better understanding of nature as you become part of it. Always battling with the weather, having to read the signs so that they sheep can be either gathered for protection (e.g. heavy snowfall) or simply to plan your work schedule. Handling a wet sheep is not a pleasant experience, but it has to be done. Oh - and as for long summer holidays - forget it.
@ten tail madara: Sheep farming in North Wales is neither a fantasy land or a dreamy world. It is very much hard work and far too many people do not understand the difficulties involved in making a living. That said, my comment was not intended to criticise or to belittle brap p's comment. Perhaps he or she already knows the hardships and still considers it to be the best job in the world as my brother (who is a sheep farmer/shepherd) does.
Hello, can someone please tell me what year and episode this clip is from? It's a found memory of mine watching this episode in the late 80's/early 90's.
@JustPeople: Yes they do. However they serve no function and cannot move like a horse or cow's tail. Most lamb's tails are shortened as this helps to prevent faeces gathering on their tails which attracts maggots in the summer months and could kill the animal if not caught in time. A rubber ring is applied to the tails when the lamb is young which cuts off the blood supply and part of the tail falls off. This is humane and does not hurt the animal. It is similar to the treatment a human would get for severe haemorrhoids.

If there is one animal on this earth that mankind shares the tightest bond with, it's the faithful canine.

@@Miimu5210 Cats are like part timers.
God bless dogs and their never ending need to help humans
If your cat could text, it wouldn't text you back...
Mi we wouldn't be where we are now if we didn't have trusty companionship of canines, felines and equestrians. These animals were gifts from G-d
This is pure ecstasy for the doggos. Shepherd breeds live and breathe for this work. I just know they were replaying this day in their dreams. 😊
Anyone else saw the little wee lamb at 1:53? So CUTE!
i thought that was a cat lol
I saw it 😅
The beautiful ritual of anything this channel makes.
LOL
Woah how did I get so many likes?
This really shows how dogs are the real best friends of the mankind
The power of whistling and having dogs as companions!
what about it?
Working dogs like this are so special. Likewise for the humans that train & work them. Incredible relationship.
Wonderful landscapes, dogs, sheeps, this is all i needed. Thanks.
Draco Malfoy how bout the sheperd?
This is Wales, don't forget the extensive cultural history and folklore we have too
I like to watch the wool bounce as the sheep run.

What beautiful countryside!
Spectacular Terrain! Great dogs. Thanks for sharing
The music is Lela by Gustavo Santaolalla.
Most of us from the US are just wondering what the hell he's saying, let alone figuring out the music.
Subtitles would have been nice 😂, great video anyway
I thought the same thing to myself
I couldn't understand him either
Oh i see cannot turn them on either
was it irish?

Huntaways working with these dogs would be magic!
WHATAGOOODBOOOOY

This is why I'm proud of living in Wales.
Best channel of all times!
Thanks for sharing!
I love how the welsh countryside is completely untouched since Vikings were on the archipelago
It's majestic
Kandie it sure is
Vikings lol the Welsh done better than any others of the British and Irish at fighting them off they even killed a Viking king
@@tomk.williams1186 That’s impressive I love the Welsh
Holy moly. Now all my anxiety n stress gone after this mind soothing video. 💝
the scenery is amazing

Fantastic understanding between farmer and dogs .. Beats any politicians .This team get things done :*
What an amazing job, doggie!!
Sometimes you wonder, if not for the pressures of urban life and work, this is what we city people call a life of contentment and peace.
Beautiful traditional too.
Brilliant choice of music.. from Gustavo Santaolalla's album Ronroco for anyone who's wondering
You're a stud. Thanks for volunteering this
Wonderful Job. .You animals and nature. ..what else?
This is amazing !
Dang is that blood from the collies nipping them
No, it is dye put on them when they are vaccinated, so the Shepherd knows which sheep have been vaccinated
何とも羨ましいというか、のどかで壮大な光景
日本では何かと肩身を狭くする事を余儀なくされる大型犬の飼い主さん達にとっては、夢の環境でしょうね。
@Jappy Cute: とても険しい環境ですよ。この地域の天候はとても変わり易く、牧草というより、雑草に近い成長が非常に遅い草です。ボーダーコリーは中型犬ですよ。大型犬ではありません。東方の東京マンションでも、ボーダーコリーを飼っている方がいます（大型犬は認めていません）。確かに、ボーダーコリーは働くのが好きで、東京のマンションより、北ウェールズというような環境が好ましいでしょう。実は、日本でも私の北ウェールズの地元（動画の地域より少し西）から羊飼いとしている方がボーダーコリーを輸入しています。日本でも（長野、北海道など）このような羊飼いがいますよ。

Oh! If would get someone to train a few shepherd dogs for me, I'd venture into sheep rearing. Beautiful country life.

Can someone explain why the sheep appear to be bleeding? or stained red?
They have dye on them so that farmers can recognise which sheep are theirs
