I used to tell people that he could file our tax returns.The smartest breed, they say.
He was very special to you indeed. Great dog!I used to tell people that he could file our tax returns.
When my late wife & I lived in British Columbia, our cul-de-sac, (we were the last house), abutted maybe 80 acres of vacant land; (our community mail box was up the hill...in the opposite direction of the house from the trail when exiting the brush)..........about a half mile before we reached the trail I casually mentioned to him that we'd check the mail before going home.
Get to the street...he heads up toward the mail box.
We acquired him as a pup off the Sunshine Coast in B.C. - both his parents came from a breeder in B.C. (Wiston Cap was one of his ancestors...as he was with a zillion others).......Out of concern that we might be doing too much with him when he was young I called the breeder, (she was 90 years old at the time), and was told "A working Border Collie will do 100 miles a day, you don't have to worry about him".Nemo: I am a border collie lover. Current border collie (Flash) is black and white - previous BC was a tri-colour smooth coat. They do need lots of exercise (2 to 3 miles/day walking and problem solving games (ie "go find")
