Border Collie Rescue - Nice Work! - Teaser Trailer.

Short teaser trailer for "NICE WORK!", a sixty minute documentary about the work of Border Collie Rescue, which also looks at some of the dogs the organisation has re-homed over the last 10 years through interviews with their owners.

Re-edited into 6 x 10 minute episodes for YouTube, Nice Work takes a look at the Border Collie Rescue Assessment and Re-habilitation centre near York, UK and follows the progress of Gael, one of 8 working dogs featured in the 13 part Animal Planet series 'Project Puppy' as she is being trained to take over the position of lead dog at the centre.

Amongst other dogs featured is Bryn, one of the dogs assessed and rehomed by Border Collie Rescue as a Police sniffer dog for drugs and firearms.
Molly - one of several dogs assessed and re-homed for Search and Rescue Work.
Meg who works cattle and sheep.
Flash, one of Sally's pups now working as a sheepdog and Rab and Fly, selected to be re-homed as a pair so they could use their qualities to help each other overcome the problems that caused them to end up in rescue care.

Directed by Jim Closs, "NICE WORK!" is all about Border Collies - from unwanted pets to RSPCA cruelty cases handed over to BCR for care, re-habilitation and re-homing and the film gives the viewer insight into the ideals and workings of the organisation - but mainly.....it's about the dogs!

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.

hey, i really want a rough collie (lassie dog) and i was wondering if it was a good idea, i live in a small house with a small-medium yard, however, i go out walking and go to parks often, and i have a lot of spare time on my hands, should i get one?

A "short" DVD version is available on our stalls now as part of a compilation of vids from Border Collie Rescue.

The plan is to make a 'promo' version available on our website soon at a nominal price to cover costs, P&P and a bit to funds.

Perhaps there will be an extended 90 minute version for sale eventually. There is talk of this - depends if Colliewood can spare the time to put it together.

Watch this space!

[TheMusicEditor]

Is he DVD going to be available to buy?

[ColliewoodFilms]

As soon as its finished!

We now have the DVD version completed for Border Collie Rescue, but breaking it down into 6 episodes is going to take a little more time.

[ColliewoodFilms]

Been getting in some practice!
