A Dog's Show - 1981 Final - The Dogs Show NZ

Man. Dog. Sheep. This was an unlikely formula for Kiwi TV gold. A Dog's Show was familiar as a homespun in its long-running Sunday slot. The show featured sheepdog trials from around the country, with commentary provided by the wise, bearded John Gordon. In the final from a 1981 series, four farmers wield sticks and whistles, and put their dogs through their paces to wrangle the "sticky sheep". It's 1981, but the only riots here are ovine. Trivia: the opening tune is a version of the song 'Flowers on the Wall', also used in the film Pulp Fiction.
Graham may have already lost half a point for that shilly shally before. He's really got to try now.

I farmed for 15 years in nz, had a team of working dogs, the things I could do I thought was awesome but these old boys are soo friggan technical, it's kinda unbelievable to be honest, I've never seen a shepherd who has this sorta control on their dogs.
