Meet the Beagle Brigade. Making use of the Beagle's excellent sense of smell, the Beagle Brigade is hot on the trail of contraband in airports around the country. 90% accuracy is demanded of these dogs that are specially chosen and trained in Florida. But not all Beagles actively hunt or sniff out contraband. Many beagles are show dogs and we visit two of the most famous. Squiggles, an international agility champion and Judy, the Beagle who has won more championships than any other Beagle in history.
Observe Border collies at work and at play! On farms in Tennessee and Virginia, Border Collies herd sheep, cows and even a 2000 lb. bull! We meet Trish McConnell, an animal behaviorist, talk show host, and owner of 4 border collies. As we watch them we learn about the advantages and disadvantages of owning this breed. Originally bred along the borderlands of Scotland, these animals have an amazing ability to control sheep with "eye" and "clapping". If you don't own a farm, practice Flyball with your dog. Footage from the Houston National Show will show you how.
