The Kelpie - Australia's Wonder Dog. Australian Diary 9

1947

The Kelpie - Australia's Wonder Dog. Australian Diary 9

1947

    They say Australia was built on the sheep's back but it takes a top dog to get the sheep to go where you want them. Johnny is a champion sheep wrangler and this film shows how, with a few dog whistles from the master, a well trained dog can persuade some reluctant sheep to go wherever they are led.

    Made by The National Film Board 1947. Directed by Jack S Allan.
