Training
Raising your Dog with the Monks of New Skete (Video from the German Shepherd Dog raising Monks who have a book listed above)
Films starring dogs
Lassie Come Home (Yes there are LOT'S of "Lassie" titles, but due to space and time we're only featuring the original and the best here......the classic story of a boy whose family is forced to sell their Collie and her journey to find her way home that started it all.)
Goodbye,
My Lady (The movie that introduced the Basenji to the American
public in
the '50s. Excellent, heartwarming, sad story
of an impoverished rural boy living with his elderly uncle who finds a strange
hound that laughs instead of barks and is the best hunting dog anyone has
ever seen. The boy's bond with the bitch he names "Lady" is deep, as
is the search for what adulthood means as all the men around him face choices
and often make mistakes in those choices.....it's his choice when an ad regarding
the lost bitch "Isis of the Blue Nile" is brought to his attention that
brings him fully into that world. Of all the dog movies here, this
is my favorite.)
Old Yeller (Overly sentimental? Maybe, I still can't watch again.....too sad for me. But is now a classic in dog movies.)
Where the Red Fern Grows (yet another sentimental boy and his dog(s in this case) story.)
Films featuring, but not starring, Sighthounds
Le
Moine et la Sorcière or The Sorceress (French, subtitled
in English) (There is a version of the faithful Greyhound saves his owner's
child, is killed by owner who thinks the
hound has killed the child before child is found safe
and beast attacking child is found dead, the hound become sainted in the
very beginning of the film. The actual story is centered around a
witch-hunting monk who is scandalized by the sainthood of the Greyhound as
well as a local healer ---"the sorceress". The opening scene is tough to
watch, but for those of us already in the "Greyhound Cult" is makes it easy
to empathize with the villagers worship of the Greyhound saint.)
The Sorceress (same movie dubbed in English)
Out of Africa (Karen Blixen (aka writer Isak Dinesen) had Scottish Deerhounds and they are her constant companions in this beautiful film)
