Sheepdogs in pastoral history

Follow sheepdogs beyond everyday farm tasks: organised trials, pedigree archives, television and public commemoration. Selected British and New Zealand examples reveal how pastoral skills became a shared cultural heritage. Learn to distinguish the dates of different events and the information preserved in photographs and written records. This is a historical introduction, not a livestock-training course.
