Stub - Best Cow In West

This story was a product of its time, a family Disney episode with a simple story, great photography and a lesson. The episode has held up well with the passage of time. The Aussies are adorable and well trained. Fans of the breed should take note -- herding comprises one of the primary plot lines. I wished for at least some extras, but basically what you get is the episode and that's it. Given the price, that's reasonable, though one hopes for more, a "making of," or "where are they now," etc.Overall, I recommend this item if you want a vintage story well done, involving a wonderful breed of dog, the Australian Shepherd.

I have been waiting for this for a long time! I have very fond memories of growing up watching Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday evenings. Stub: The Best Cow Dog in the West was especially memorable because part of it was filmed on my uncle's place about him and his dogs. Uncle Jay and his wonderful dogs were inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2002 and this gave me and my children a chance to see the act in action. I am just amazed at what he could make his animals do! Any dog lovers in your family are sure to love this. It is a bit dated but it was worth the wait for me and my boys.

A great look at a part of Aussie history. My granddaughter loves to watch this movie, and I see new things every time I watch it with her. I own working Aussies that go back to these lines, and I'm happy to report many similarities to Jay's foundation dogs.Thanks to Disney for releasing these two great stories. There is more video footage of Jay training on You Tube.

This classic film depicts some old time cowboys, dog trainers and working Aussies that are legends to the Herding dog crowd. We've watched it twice and made others watch it whether they want to or not- because it is campy, truthful and ull of great dog and horse performances. If I had kids or grand kids or oung nieces or nephews I would buy this movie for them.

I ordered this item from Amazon's Market Place. To date, I have received neither the product nor notice of the requested refund.

I watched Stub and it wasn't bad--it wasn't a full-length movie about Australian Shepherds as I had thought. It seemed more like the video version of the tv show, The Wonderful World of Disney that I used to watch Sunday nights as a child. It's narrated, which dissuaded my daughter from watching. It does have Slim Pickens in it and I liked seeing his character's comical, accident-prone antics.That said, unless you're very nostalgic for the old Wonderful World of Disney shows or love Australian Shepherds, this may not interest you. I suspect most people would rate it lower than I did, but I liked seeing working Aussies. They have a beauty, grace, and intelligence that are incomparable.Keep in mind that this is from the 1960s and much has changed in entertainment since then. I will keep it so I can watch Aussies at work. And when I feel a little clutsy, Slim will always outdo me and is good for a laugh or two.

Pretty good, very old movie. Not as much "dog" in the movie as I was expecting and hoping.

This featurette was spot on. We have Aussies and they are a great breed, but not for everyone. They need a lot of exercise and this movie shows what they are capable of. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing missing from this Disney story however, was the forest fire!
