Bearded Collies (1956)

Bothkennar Kennels, Moor Park, Northwood, Middlesex.
M/S of lovely, long haired dogs running across field and playing. They are at Bothkennar Kennels, only established kennels for Shetland and Bearded Collies in England. Kennels owner Mrs Willison is one of the people responsible for saving Shetland Collies from extinction.
M/S of the two women calling the dogs, who gather around them. They cuddle them as if they are explaining that the game is over and have to go now. Dogs look shaggy and happy. Third woman appears in the shot, she was behind all the time.
M/S of the three women walking the dogs. L/S of beautiful country house covered in green leaves (possibly ivy). Women approach the house. M/S of one of the women grooming a long dog's hair - he obviously loves it, looks pleased. C/U shot of the face of the same dog as the woman brushes his whiskers.
M/S of another woman grooming another dog. C/U shot of the woman's smiling face as she brushes long dog's hair. This one also enjoys the fashion treatment - or is it massage?
Note: Women seen in the film are Wendy Willison and girl called Barbara. Dogs being groomed are Bailie and Bruce.

Thanks for sharing! We have shared our lives with beardies for about 35 years. No breed like 'em!

THIS WAS THE LATE 50S? DAMN

[@hisnhers22]

Lovely, this was the type of Bearded Collies we fell in love with in 1976!
Unfortunately not every change was improvement... but overall: it's a great, lovely and friendly breed! Jan & Rose de Wit, HIs-N-Hers Bearded Collies, Holland

Bothkennar. Give it a Google. Lots of history that describes the origin of the breed in The UK 😊
