Shaking Up the Sheepdog World

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

They may not rank alongside the Jamaican bobsleigh team in the list of unlikely sporting heroes but the Israeli Sheepdog Trial team are determined to make their mark. It's a competitive field long dominated by British and Irish farmers but other nations are increasingly showing an interest. For the first time the World Trials are being held outside the British Isles, just to the north of Amsterdam. And, also for the first time, a team from Israel is taking part. Ruth Sanderson follows the progress of the two Israeli shepherds as they take on the might of the Scots and Welsh. Producer: Emily Hughes.
