“The Basques, the Sheep and the Dogs who Made History”, is a passion project born of personal history.
This film presentation illustrates how the Basques helped settle the American West, the sheep some herders tended to, and the dogs with a Basque connection. An Idaho man, Jay Sisler of Emmett, then made the Australian Shepherd dogs famous with his rodeo acts.
Andrea Scott is proud of being raised by a Basque woman in Shoshone, Idaho. Scott is an Idaho native, and former news reporter and public relations specialist.
She has had a farm and raised sheep for almost 40 years.
She now concentrates on special projects to help inform and educate those who are interested in a wide range of topics. Currently, she is working on a book that takes place in the American West.
