On the dog subject.

I like my labs because I like to hunt. I also find them trustworthy and I know what a lab will do all the time. I know if you are reaching into my truck, and the dogs are there, the white lab will have you for lunch, she is very protective of her truck. The black lab would give you the keys to the truck.

I think any dog can be trained. I am not a German shepherd guy, but I like all animals. I even like little dogs if the owner is gone so they will behave. We have some friends that got a fancy German Shepherd. All they do is complain about how stupid she is and how she will not listen, She is maybe 4-5 months old, a teenage dog,

I used their treats on her, not a high value treat but a treat none the less and had her sitting. laying down and leaving the treat on the floor until I said take it in about half an hour. I told them I thought she was a genius and they should look at a different being in the equation for the dunce part.

I am sure two weeks with her and she would be a great dog. Most dogs are good to start with, people make or break them. When you tell a dog to shut up, the dog has to know there will consequences if they don't and rewards if they do. A pat on the head is a reward once trained.

BTW aussiegals dogs are sweethearts, Heck they liked me, and most people don't even do that!

That most likely is the fault of the human. Most people should NOT own herding dogs unless you are going to keep them mentally & physically active. Herders need working partners that challenge them to be better or else they will develop some really bad behaviors. Your co-worker NEEDS to get that dog involved with a behaviorist. Negative reinforcement training is the worse for an Aussie, it will completely break the dog.As a working dog they have to be given rules to work within & freedom to make decisions within those rules. What most people forget about is their job to herd, but also to guard their "flock". Aussies are extremely sensitive to tone of voice & body language; they are complex dogs and not for beginners. I guess that is what I like about them. My old man, Paddy, used to run the agility course only 2X, after that he would look at me with disgust that I didn't yet get it. His favorite thing was to run far, run fast. We would go 8 miles regularly. My Zadie is really lazy and my Bandit is my right hand farm dog. He has been going downtown with us while DH is in tx, Bandit & I are walking Mlps. He's turning heads because he's perfect on leash, even though he very seldom is on leash. My next do I'm planning to do nose work or search & rescue, It really depends on the dogs strengths & interests.

EXACTLY and exactly why I crossed Borders off my list of potential dogs when I started researching for what to get this last go around. Herding is so strong in their blood with Aussies and Borders that they MUST have a job or they will find one. My uncle had an old Border who was the best cow dog ever, but she would spend evenings that the family was altogether, herding and nipping at us kids while we were playing. I totally agree, it is the fault of the owner when a dog like that starts getting into bad behaviors. Your boss should know better too, BC, to keep bringing the dog if it has nipped or bitten anyone.

It is worse than you think, finding a priest that does chicken exorcisms is hard to do. You could be forced to find a reasonably priced private exorcist.

Best dog I ever owned was a border collie.. Loved that dog. So many wonderful days with him, his name was Bowser.. Then one day he woke up with a big lump on his chest and before I knew it we had to put him to sleep, cancer spread fast. The first night he was gone and every night for 2 wks straight I would Dream of him telling me he loved me and I needed to get checked , well enough was enough I went to docs.. Turned out I had stage 4 Breast cancer.. Because of him I am here today... I would love another BC but I'm afraid I would keep comparing him to Bowser ..

Sounds like he was wonderful. I've heard border collies are similar to Aussies. Wonderful smart dogs.
