I wish I knew how to train him and had livestock available.

Thanks! And it's amazing the difference in such a fee short months. It's like a child..makes me sad

I'll have to look them up! Sounds like he has some good lines in there. not that it would matter much since he's not working so it would be kind of pointless breeding him.

I feel like we just got Witten a week ago! When in reality it's already been a few months. He is such a joy to have and has settled into the pack nicely. he loves his brother and sister and of course his humans. Now we are just working on no stealing food!

His papers..

It's more out of curiousity than anything I'll post tomorrow when my phone is charged.

my BC tortures my cats. one hates him (but hates my other dogs as well) and the other always comes back for more torture lol. my pup is only going to be 6 months and he has tons of energy but nothing that can't be maintained. i think there is a bit exaggeration from people about their energy levels. of course they need tons of exercise (most dogs do) but the thing is even on farms they dont herd ALL day everyday they need to learn to be calm at times. i have THREE dogs. a pit bull, a black lab/shar pei and now our BC. honestly..i love playing with them all but i dont have to. they keep themselves occupied all day and they wear each other down. we still do ball and training but most of the play comes between the three of them...and honestly they would rather rough and tumble with each other over me anyways. which is GREAT because we have a 4 year old and a baby on the way lol. my border collie is also pretty laid back (at least i believe so). he loves snuggling and will sit calmly forever if youre petting him or rubbing his belly. he puts himself in time out when he gets tired. he is also not as outgoing as some have made BCs to seem. he loves people and his own little pack but it takes a while to warm up to new dogs. with people he is less of a jumper than my other two dogs and a lot less hyper. my gram doesnt mind me brining him to her house when i visit but she hates my other 2 dogs because they are insane when they get around other people and animals. we went with a puppy....mostly because my female pit CAN be weird around new adult dogs. shes been attacked a few times by other dogs so now she is a bit more cautious but she is very mothering. so kittens and puppies are her love interest. we live in a 3 bedroom house that is actually fairly small and have 2 acres of land. my dogs wont venture out of the little piece of front yard we have. its kind of annoying to have land and they wont run lol. my puppy likes the normal stuff. my daughters barbies, blocks, wood...but his OBSESSION is toilet paper, paper towels and...just any paper (magazines, news paper, etc). we dont crate our dogs but put them in our bathroom when we leave and if my husband forgets to remove the toilet paper...we come back to a lovely shredded mess. he also likes cushion stuffing (my hubby washed the cushion covers and the one zipper broke). hes a baby but my 2 yr old black lab still loves destroying stuff when we arent home. my pit got over that stage and we leave her out by herself now to watch the house. but she didnt get out of that stage until around 3yrs old. lol

ya is water obsessed. my black lab was like that when he was a puppy too....my lab was a rescue and my BC was an outside dog before we got him so not sure how much water was given to them so it might just be because hes afraid it will go away

hey so i just go witten's papers! yaaaay! are there any lines in the US to look for? i know with horses there are famous lines (i had a mare with lines from impressive and ima cool skip which are both amazing lines). just curious!

my BC grabs the cat by the scruff and drugs him around the house. for us..i really think its mostly play because the cat keeps coming back for more and then they run around each other and the dog loves SITTING on the cat..lol

he didnt have ANY problems at my grams the last 3 days. no dribbles or anything but he got to go outside a lot more because its fenced and i dont have to stand in the cold lol. he also plays nonstop at home and drinks a TON more water when we are here vs when he was at my grams. so i think its just being too occupied.

i honestly think its a 'im too occupied to go to the door' kind of pee. or if he goes to the door and we are busy with our toddler...he waits until he is going to burst THEN goes to the door. i think its just puppy dribbles. my friends male rottie is doing the same thing. little brats.

omg! lol. my husband freaks out. thats his biggest gripe about witten. that and his dribbling. he loves to dribble pee through the entire house. there is prob so much urine we have missed the last few months im scared to blacklight. he hasnt actually squatted in peed in a few weeks and he knows to go to the door but sometimes he just walks around dribbling a line of pee. its sooooooo annoying

thanks guys! lol yea i was laughing at him and used to tease him he was half corgi. he was so stumpy and long hahaha. hes my little turd...definitely a goober. he LOVES paper. he will chew on a bone or toy for a little but if he can reach the toilet paper or any type of magazine he goes nuts with it.

my scale is out of batteries so i havent weighed him. i will have to do that soon and measure him! and your little is so handsome too! love his eyes. i guess witten's legs just seem to stumpy lol. maybe its just me
