Aussies are bankers too. They learn the be quiet command pretty early and it's repeated daily multiple times so they don't forget it. Not that they ever would.

Most herding dogs have a few more brain cells in my view anyway nope not partial there huh

Just saw some sort of adorable little herding breed puppy. Maybe Aussie but didn’t have very much fluff and ears looked odd and slightly lankier. But was merle and docked tail. Looked Aussie or mix maybe lol didn’t get a good look, they were walking by on the other side of the street but either way, cutie.

My Frankie wasn't a typical looking Aussie. They can be a very diverse breed.

Colour plays a huge part and yes breed to show or work can be very different

Hm that’s interesting. Never thought of that.

Good point, hadn’t thought of that. I bet it was probably an Aussie.

Yep: brains and that innate willingness to please humans working together. I am partial myself! I love my Papillons too but I don't see me never having a Border Collie.

Accidents happen even with the best owner. Don't beat yourself up.

He was a darling little dog, looks a little like a parti colored Pomeranian?

I grew up with a Pap we lost her at 21 never got another showed for a breeder of them

I love Papillons.

I’ve always wanted one but they’re so expensive.

Maybe one day.

I hear they’re like mini Border Collies.

Kidding of course. I know they’re a totally separate breed and have their own wonderful qualities. But I’ve heard they’re super smart and energetic like a BC lol people think cause they’re small they don’t need much exercise but they’re very energetic lol
