Harlow

Almost looks like Border Collie/Jack Russell

Harlow's ears didnt go up until she was almost 5 months old. Now one is completely up the other is halfway

LOVE the split face!

"give me a hug" I put a treat on my shoulder and she has to basically 'hug' to get it. "jump to me" this takes alot of trust on her part instead of just jumping in the air she'll jump into my arms. Was alot easier before she was 40 pounds but still a cool trick

cute pic Harlow is going to be a pirate although she doesn't need the eye patch

Harlow is my first dog and I thought all dogs were like this....she follows me around everywhere I go, room to room, very good off lease...glad to know other Borders are like this, they are a VERY unique, awesome breed

All the suggestions were great. I've decided she really doesnt need a certian organized activity. She did her puppy class when younger and I may get her into more obedience classes since she catches on SO quick. Taught her to roll over a few weeks back and it took at the most 20 minutes. Amazing breed. I do take her on a walk/hike in the woods everyday with another pack of dogs which pretty much wipes her out for the day. From what other bc owners have told me Harlow is not what they call the 'typical' border collie. She's very mellow, laid back, and enjoys just sitting next to me on the couch. But when she's ready to go she goes!

Thanks everyone, all the suggestions have been very helpfull!

So nice to hear another BC likes sticks! Her brother from the same litter is into everything she is not, but he's also more hyper and doesn't listen as well. Harlow's more down to earth and others comment at how mellow she is. When we're at the park I'll stand up and she'll run over as if to say 'what should I do??' She's great and the stick thing with her making me happy could be it. Her being a service dog would be pretty cool since she's sooo friendly and loves kids I just need to find somewhere around here to do that

search and rescue would be great! As focused as she is I think she would like that. I live in Green Bay which isn't very big but would be willing to travel. She's a good dog and is sooo willing to please, which I'm sure everyone here can agree on with their borders

I'm sure there will be an obvious answer but I wanted to ask other border collie owners.... here's my dilema....I would like to get Harlow into something but not sure what. She hates tennis balls and frisbes to the point where I'll throw them and they either hit her body or she doesn't even look at them. She will only play with sticks. She thinks her 'job' is to fetch and retrieve them which we do for a few hours a day. She doesn't herd that good I've tried that, all she did was wag her tail and try to play. She's a VERY VERY focused dog, I'll hold a stick in front of her she'll stare at it for as long as I want and not look away, even when other dogs are jumping on her. So I guess I'm wondering what I should get her into? She's very fast, focused and loves all people, kids etc. At the dog park when new dogs come in she walks past them and goes to the owners. She's also a tad clumsy so I'm not sure about agility ANY comments would be great, thanks!!
