No I haven't tried that game. I'll tell my trainer about it and see what she thinks. April ------------------ BORDER COLLIES...AINT THEY GREAT?

Ugh...I hate stacking Jack in conformtation and showmanship. When I get him as close to perfect as I can,he moves one of his feet. Anyway,I suggest letting the dog "free stack" and then make any corrections needed after that. But remember,don't get between the judge and the dog(I got disqualified once for doing that). Also,in showmanship they're not really judging the dog but watching what you are doing so the stack doesn't have to be perfect. But it's nice to have it as close as you can get it. April Jack and Bailey ------------------ BORDER COLLIES...AINT THEY GREAT?

I've been wondering for a long time about the ears of a border collie but never asked. Can the ears standing up or flopping be hereditary? I ask because a bc at my obedience class ears stand up. So to do some research I saw the sire of this dog and he has prick ears. And I've done more searching on the internet and saw that the majority of the dogs whose ears are pricked have a sire with the same. So I guess my point is,do the genes matter in the ear carriage? If so,do the pups get it more so from the sire than the dam? Or does it really matter? Just bored and wondering... April ------------------ BORDER COLLIES...AINT THEY GREAT?
