Kwilk55 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hey!!!! i just got my first border collie a month ago, his name is Triple. I’ve had many dogs, and currently have another 2 (10 year old Jack and 1.5 year old mutt). Ive always wanted a BC, but had to wait until the right time. Triple is the Easiest puppy I’ve ever had, and I’m accrediting that to his border collie brain. He is 3 months old, smart, sweet and oh so funny! We are going through the Great War chafe right now, so every day it’s a surprise as to what we are going to wake up to! Up? Down? Sideways? Who knows! I’m hoping to do agility and dock diving for fun with him, and maybe dabble in some hearding. We’ll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome to the Boards. People ask this all the time. And the answer is always the same. You'll know when you know. Nice dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwilk55 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I know there’s no way to tell. It’s just so exciting to try to guess! Especially if the guess come from previous experiences!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jami74 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Beautiful dogs! Our boys ears went through a sticky up stage and for a while even touched in the middle making him look like he had a mono-ear. Now when he's relaxed they're pretty much airplane ears, but when he's alert he'll stick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Parkey Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Just for grins, I predict one prick ear and one semi-prick, mostly because I think that is so cute. jami, my Australian shepherd had a mono-ear for a while. He wound up with beautiful big prick ears. Of course the AKC people were telling me how to tape or glue them into the "correct" semi-prick shape. I told them he wasn't an Aussie, but a Royal Queensland Bat-eared Shepherd, and that the RQBESC did not believe in ear torture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icaraa Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Wow, he’s beautiful! Our Ben had a mono ear at that age, or triangle ears as we called it! He’s 8 months old now and I still couldn’t really say how his ears are! Half the time they are flopped (airplane), the other half one is pricked up and one is airplane. But it’s not always the same ear that is pricked up, that varies too! If he’s concentrating they’re always pricked up, and if he’s tired they’re always airplane.

Kwilk55 Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 Just for reference. Triple is all grown up and his ears are one up and one down. You can se him on the Leap Years dog commercial on YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Triple is wonderful in the commercial! Thanks for sharing! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachdogz Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Loved the commercial. Yay Triple!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligande Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 You just never know, it is one of the fun surprises I was convinced my youngster would have prick ears, his 2 litter mates that were still at the breeders when I got him already have straight pointy ears, drake has ended up with perfect prick ears that would do a show border collie proud. Not that my mad ISFS sheepdog would ever see the inside of a show ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
