Donald McCaig Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Dear Doggers, I am trying to get TV exposure for sheepdogs and sheepdog trials. Animal Planet is the obvious network for such programming. Unfortunately, I've never watched them and can't name a single one of their shows. I need the names of the production companies responsible for their dog programming. I'd be grateful if those who watch AP wait through the trailers and privately post me the names of the production companies whose shows they enjoy. Thanks, Donald McCaig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockdogranch Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi, Donald. I don't watch AP, so have no idea to answer your question, but I *do* have a little pet peeve. They are not all "sheepdogs," nor are "sheepdog trials" the only way to show what they do. Many of these dogs work other stock (like cattle or even goats), and so perhaps being a bit more inclusive, stock-wise, as well as work-wise (as in also showing real work), might be more useful if the goal is to "educate" the public about what these wonderful dogs can do. I think if it ("it" being what these dogs do) comes across as more than "just a sport" or a game, it would better serve "our" purposes, A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these dogs work other stock (like cattle or even goats)... For some of us, they are alway sheepdogs -- even when they are working cattle or other livestock.

bc friend Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'll be glad to check this out for you over the weekend. You might also want to suggest the Discovery Channel and National Geographic (which is where Cesaer Milan's show is aired). Thanks for all of the enjoyment your books have provided to me.

hsnrs Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 We have seen dog shows on AP, RFD-TV, Nat-Geo and sometimes Green. Don't know who you would contact though. Some of the recent sheepdog trials have been on RFD-TV. Also show a clinic by Jack Knox on RFD-TV awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
