Stoga

Maybe that would be the "cure" for my saggy throat line...

BTW, good question, Jodi.

Way to go, Robin! You guys look great... nice job, Hamish (love the voice-over)!

Oh Sue, I'm really sorry. Our heartfelt condolences to you, Ed and your crew...

Congratulations to you and both your girls, Anna! Fifth in the Nationals is a HUGE accomplishment for you and Riddle, considering she recently had a litter and you guys don't trial much. And Tikkle has a long career ahead of her too. We were keeping track all weekend via the web; maybe next year we'll be there in person. Cal says "Way to go, fairy doGmother!!!

What great looking boys!

Deacon...

Geez Wendy, I'm so sorry I'm just reading this now. I know Joey had many admirers here in SE Louisiana... I only wish I'd had the chance to meet her. But she's not gone, just someplace else - waiting. How lucky you are to have had her as your first stockdog; and how lucky she was to find you. Deepest sympathies from your friends on the bayou...

Wow... great job! Very professional. Passed it along to a bunch of family/friends. Maybe now they'll actually have an idea of what I've been obsessing about for the last two years...

Oh wonderful... so glad you got her, Deb! I'd been watching her listing, going back and checking on her every so often hoping someone from the boards would scoop her up. There's something about her expression that says "just don't underestimate me." Do tell us more...

What's wrong with 'em? Don't they realize one-up, one-down is by far the foxiest look?

 

....Juno

 

The PERFECT reason NOT to mess with ears! How do you improve on that look??? You go, Juno!!!!

Welcome Kelsey!

The previous 4 posts are indicative of the valuable insight on working border collies that you'll gain from these boards. Folks like Anna, Julie, Wendy and Jaime (along with a whole host of others) are vastly experienced and will gladly offer their opinions and advice regarding this breed we all want so badly to protect and preserve. I'm sure that you, like me, will be grateful for their help and guidance as you begin your journey.

On the other hand, I wish they'd all be a little sweeter and less direct in their responses... BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! (inside joke)

Stoga - you're more than welcome to come to TN and help here anytime you want! No cows, well, not yet as we're only getting 2, but within the next few days the sheep will be arriving! Help and working dogs are always welcome!

Thanks Karen! After looking at your photos of the new place a couple months ago, I was thinking about inviting myself over back then...

Great post, Sue. Although we're probably around the same age, I would happily allow myself to be adopted by you and Ed so I could come lend a hand out in WV. In fact, I come already equipped with a well-started stockdog... just say the word!

GIT ALONG, LITTLE DOTTIE! She looks awesome...

Solo looks more like Ewan McGregor

Sigh...
