In April, 2001, Rural Route Videos headed south to Montgomery, Alabama, for the chance to film the first USBCH National Cattledog Finals. Sixty handlers and their dogs had qualified for a chance to win this remarkable trophy. They had tough cattle and hot weather, but they had a great time.

For this year, Rural Route Videos has produced a 2 hour and 40 minute video highlighting the Handler's Finals from ????

For this year, Rural Route Videos has produced a 2 hour and 40 minute video highlighting the Handler's Finals from El Reno, Oklahoma. In the same format as the 1999 video, the beginning of the program briefly looks at the scoring and successes of the top runs in the qualifying trial. Then it moves onto the semi finals, briefly looking at the high scoring runs, before moving on to the final day. Increasing this year's video to 2 hours and 40 minutes has allowed us to designate more time to the top runs in the finals.

1999 U.S.B.C. Handlers'  Finals from Bellegrove, VA
2 hours in length

This video looks briefly at the qualifying results and then highlights the semi finalists, explaining how these teams scored. The major part of the program is made up with the top runs in the event, the higher the position in the finals, the more time is designated to the run.

The Ranch Dog Trainer magazine review said, "This production of the 1999 USBCHA/ABCA Handlers Finals held in Bellegrove, Virginia is as professional as any stockdog video that will ever be viewed.  With top camera work, commentary and one-on-one interviews, Rural Route Videos gives a great overview of the National Finals.  Never before has there been a product produced that has the high quality of the U.S. Border Collie Handlers' Finals -1999 video.

The Working Border Collie magazine review said.  " Martin Penfold of Rural Route Videos has done an excellent job of capturing the highlights of the 1999 National Finals. Penfold understands Border Collies and sheepdog trials; this lends authenticity and realism to the production………includes many brief but informative interviews with contestants, judges and trial officials throughout the tape.  Accurate course descriptions using graphics, explains the course to the viewers.  The narration during the video is tastefully done, telling where major points were deducted, while allowing  the better work of the dogs to be seen………….the filming, sound quality and program layout of this video are exceptional.  Martin Penfold is a unique one-man production crew.  His work rivals that of companies who profess to spend tens of thousands of dollars for similar productions.
