That's what I like about collies. They're super eager to please and they don't require a lot of punishment to get a point across. Nico's a bit stupid sometimes and looks at the bird shady (for which I have to remind him to "leave it") but Jaeger is either smart enough to not chase it or too lazy too.

My dog is a shorthaired collie mix.. She's great with everything else, she'll even leave a pot with meat in it alone while I walk out of the room if I tell her to wait. She just won't behave with chickens.

Ah. XD Mine are longhaired rough collies with showdog pedigrees, and a really strong herding instinct. Might just be my dogs then. I can always threaten Nico with his harness if he misbehaves, he hates putting the thing on.

@hippiestink
In my opinion, a quack isn't a quack like I thought of a quack.

The only duckling in the house is Duckling. She knows what she wants from a duck!
