Nick 7. .mov

I love watching Len Dalton's videos. He voice overs to give you running commentary. He is a real stock dogger, who wants good work, not slash and dash. This dog gets hurt, but recovers, and it's important to listen to what Len says. Cattle are dangerous to dogs.

I have one of those Hangin Tree Cowdogs and I can totally see how he could get hurt working cattle. He has no fear of them. Luckily for him he's a spoiled rotten agility dog:) Very interesting video!

I just had to comment. In my opinion Len Dalton is not a real stock dogger. His videos hard really hard to watch. He is unfair to his dogs and his cattle. The video was 6 minutes long and that dog never moved those cattle and looked worried. You can see the e collar on his neck and when he gets shocked. In other video's his dogs are savagely attacking his cattle. Know wonder his cattle want to kill his dogs.

I didn't notice the e-collar, L. I would take issue with that. Part of the problem, I think is that these are not full kelpies, or BCs, they have non-herding dogs mixed in. Just goes to show how much I know about working cattle!
