Working Bearded Collie Sheepdogs Driving One Thousand Sheep - Version 2

Some small tweaks to the original movie of Drew Pringle "The Magic Peasant" driving one thousand Blackface sheep 6 miles over hills of the Ederline Estate on Loch Awe (near Oban on the West coast of Scotland). Drew makes use of his trusted bearded collies (Jeff and Tannie). Features Landrover and music from Deaf Shepherd and Blazin' Fiddles.

This is brilliant - how lovely to see dogs working in the traditional way they were bred for. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@uptonsavoie]

Six miles over up-and-down rough country, and the dogs probably ran a hundred without a break! I used to have a small flock of sheep; but keeping track of a thousand of them moving around various hills and making sure that every dog is doing his duty---astonishing. Congratulations also in having such beautiful and appropriate music. Wonderful job.

[@christinalynn8143]

The smiling dogs. The sounds, the noises from the animals. Funny, fun. 🙂

[@RangerCaptain11A]

i never guessed it would be so tough to get the sheep moving. good work, dogs!

[@TYMOTEUSZKUPKA]

.sheep, shepherds and Scottish landscape and Scottish music all that great!

[@ChrisG1392]

This is one of the coolest videos I've seen. Looks like absolute heaven on Earth.

[@funnylitttlefrog]

This is just wonderful. What a film.

[@TassieLorenzo]

This is the most Scottish video I have ever seen! :D

[@akarpowicz]

I lke the music, but would have preferred more natural sounds of the sheep , people and dogs.

[@MoonrakerXI]

Lovely film, as a beardie owner its great to see what they are capable of!

[@PepperBuddyRosie12]

What beautiful country! :)

[@tikarlegadrasl]

Simply amazing, and such beautiful landscape :)

[@LinnTractorNut]

Excellent documentary, I've never seen so many sheep being moved like this before.

[@bigbob1699]

If those dogs ever unionize they will own the place .

[@sanhestar]

would have preferred way more footage of the dogs working on the sheep instead of the landrover in the back. The car didn't do the work, the dogs and shepherds did.

[@maggiepatterson7949]

sponsored by Landrover.....so....

[@SilverFlame819]

It's so weird to watch Beardies at work. You never see them work here in the US! They're just cute show dogs with flowy coats. Nice work!

[@joeynarciso94]

Oh yes you do@!!! There are so many herding instinct trial test events in NOCA when I lived there it wasn't funny and especially it seemed that the owners who also showed their dogs in confirmation were more prone to want all those kinds of different levels of herding certificates added to their dogs' titles - much more impressive to those interested in purchasing their pups from them!

[@SilverFlame819]

​@@joeynarciso94Doing an AKC herding instinct test and actually competing in real herding are very different things.

[@louisaisthankful4603]

Thank you for posting this! A pleasure to watch!

[@CoherentChimp]

"Music by Deaf Shepherd" Love it!

[@jeanbetancourt8932]

Beautiful scenery!

[@WilderhopeAdventures]

My border collie Kye loved the video. Ever since I put a working-dog training video on my TV (for me) she has been hooked on watching livestock videos. Great video though, I enjoyed it too

[@spinningnumbers]

I think I might try the same...I've got to get my collie off horror and sci fi

[@cosi66]

wonderful country

[@maskyprime]

It’s like pure cuddleness

[@Rebander1549]

Thank you for this video. It was so enjoyable. 😊

[@aprilskies1051]

a great video! it's lovely to see the working dogs in action, what a job the farmer has. great music and scenery too. Thanks

[@wollyolkwollyolk6500]

I love dogs! Sheep dogs are so clever

[@karayna]

We bought our Beardie from a breeder who specializes in preserving their natural herding instinct. I tried to herd with her, but she proved to be afraid of sheep! Weird, but true. I was running around, sheep chasing me, but she just pressed up against the walls of the pen. Not that I own any sheep, but it was fun to try. :)

[@finlaymcintyre73]

What a splendid video

[@SilverFlame819]

I see 5 Borders (3 black and 2 red, smooth to medium coats) and 1 Beardie (dark grey, silky coat).

[@MrLucasVelten]

that was amazing, good job!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I agree but It was sponsored by Land-rover. Drone shots would have been fun, suggest to Land-Rover next year!

[@monikawp]

A Beardie, who do his right job. Yeah. It's nice to see it.

[@themacgregor15]

when i was a boy i remember the ederline lambs being sold in Oban at the old corsons mart .i think it was a brigadier called warde aldam that had the place then

[@antnywar8460]

Amazing

[@BijaYogaConPatricia]

Estoy impresionada como un perro puede manejar un rebaño tan grande. Ciertamente no es trabajo solo de uno, son varios perros ovejeros, pero no deja de impresionarme su trabajo tan responsable y ellos tan comprometidos. Amo los border collie!

I havent seen a single bearded collie from start to end.

[@triciamyles7258]

[@AwesomeSheep777]

+Tricia Myles Shut up! Sheep are not dumb! I have a pet sheep, and she is my best friend! As for my dogs, they suck. I love sheep! Please be nice!

[@triciamyles7258]

I'm sorry if you misunderstood my comment. I'm impressed all around with all of the animals. However, I'm not so much impressed by you since you tell ME "shut up" while reminding ME to be nice? I think that's a bit backwards.

[@Christusolus]

AwesomeSheep777 random and dumb are not the same.

[@triciamyles7258]

Christusolus Oh Snap! you obviously wanted to tell me you have a best friend who's a sheep that you like to "play" with and I didn't even get the (albeit poorly crafted) joke until just now. Congratulations. Very funny.

[@AwesomeSheep777]

Tricia Myles Sorry about that. I was kind of in a bad mood. :D

[@ambryacres]

Very cool 👍

[@suzannehartmann946]

If you know Psalm 23 you know it ends with "Surely goodness and mercy shall PURSUE me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the household of the Lord forever." I have always pictured mercy and goodness as sheep herding dogs. Keeping me on the paths of righteousness where the Lord leads.

Actually, @ screamerdemon, perhaps, the Man is working twice as hard as his dogs. After all, the Man knows where he is going and is leading, ultimately!

Next time, if possible, could you please hold the camera still?

At 2:16 there's someone on the top of the hill to the left. Another shepherd, perhaps?

[@newshound64]

How does the shepherd give orders to the dogs? Is it by voice? By whistle? or by the position of his staff?

camera is moving to much from right to left

They look more like border collies

BORDER Collies.... not bearded collies. You could NEVER move 1K sheep without Borders. They're the only who ones have the smarts, drive, and endurance.

Shearing??

[@hughmaxwell8143]

Steady on with that camera there - very hard to watch. A for content tho.

[@alphasiera1757]

why dont they just let them roam around? what's the purpose of herding?

[@someoneidk308]

Keep track of the herd, rotate fields for grazing, keep them from main roads, bring them to the barn for shearing, bring them in for feeding, and probably more. Leave them roaming and you're going to end up with over-grazed fields and herds of sheep with overgrown wool (which isn't good for them).

[@angusmcgowan5985]

@@someoneidk308 to make money, thats what its all about 🤣🤣

[@someoneidk308]

@@angusmcgowan5985 Well... I guess? Wool has its uses and I doubt itll go away anytime soon. I will say that there isn't too much profit in shepherding. Any profits generally go back into the farm to provide better care for the sheep.

[@angusmcgowan5985]

@@someoneidk308 are you a farmer? Because what it'll be is he'll be gathering in his sheep to sell the lambs to store to get alot of money for them and pull out his cull ewes with bad bags and teeth He could also be shearing them l, but there is no profit for that as it will cost the same to clip the wool as the wool sells for.

[@someoneidk308]

@@angusmcgowan5985 No, I'm not a farmer. But I do regularly talk with those who use their dogs to herd animals- specifically sheep- and have some role on the farm because of that. None of them own the farm, but they work on a farm is what I'm trying to say. And I mean, you're right. I'm not gonna argue with what you said. Honestly I forgot about lamb meat. But isn't there some profit with wool if you sheer then yourself? Obviously not on this scale because. Yikes that's a lot of sheep and obviously they'd need to hire help. But like less than 60 maybe?

[@dixiedixon2210]

Two borders, two beardies, working type not KC showy variety, the coats of which are far to long and soft for working in the mud and rain, would hamper the dog. Show beardies dont have the instinct anymore, nice pets but not workers.

I aw four Border Collies but not one Bearded Collie

[@junbh2]

Yeah, that was weird. I wonder if there is one on there somewhere among the Border Collies at all, or is it just a typo? I have never seen a Beardie herding and was curious about their style.

[@cielbie8251]

The long coated dogs are bearded collies. They are working bearded collies, so they do not look like the show dogs. They are bred to work. www.spanglefish.com/brambledalebeardedcollies/ www.workingbeardies.co.uk/index.html Jeff and Tanny were working bearded collies

[@junbh2]

Where are the Bearded Collies, though? I couldn't find even one.

[@michaelfortunato1860]

+junbh2 The blue and whites are beardies. The black and red are borders.

[@michaelfortunato1860]

+junbh2 They are NOT show beardies... workers. Look for the blue/whites.

[@junbh2]

+Michael Fortunato OK. I saw them at the beginning of course but harder to pick them out in the bits with the sheep. I guess I mistook them for long haired border collies.

[@junbh2]

+Michael Fortunato They do look quite different from the ones I've met in the city! It makes sense their hair would be much shorter, though.
