Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, All Herding breeds, Tell Me About Yours

I do enjoy smart and sometimes challenging dogs. I love watching a smart dog reason stuff out. I love it when they find a loophole in the rules.

My current pack is pretty easy. Most are mature and past shenanigans. My Shorty pup was too easy to raise. She's a smart pup, and a snuggly dream dog. I guess I'm a bit bored with well behaved dogs, and am ready to be tested, and entertained. :)

:hmm....Bahahaha :gig
Definitely I love Wilson and seriously if all dogs were like him I'd never own another dog..:gig
 
My first border collie (Gimli) arrived as a pup. The kids hated him to start with. He had pointy pup teeth and would lie by the sofa where the kids sat nipping their ankles.:D
Two hours a day minimum walking and training and he was bearable but still got bored.
Most seem to have one thing you just can't train out of them. The Welsh border collies are tire chasers.
With Gimli it was golf balls. I used to walk him accross a golf course for a while to get into the countryside. He would hear the whack as the golfer struck the ball and then track it in flight. Of course Gimli thought they would like the ball back.
Some people take golf very seriously I discovered.:oops::lau
 
It means they come from Wales in the UK. I believe that is where they originate from. Most are sheep dog stock.
I know they were developed along the border of Wales and England I believe hence the name of them.

To get one directly bred in that area would be incredible. Generally dogs bred in the country of origin tend to stay truer to the original type.

Did you work yours?

Nice. :lol: I'm sure there was some unhappy golfers.

You must be a fan of Tolkien. I like the name Gimli.
