Meet Titus & Darby. They are two crazy dogs! They are siblings of our Skylar and obviously doing very well!

Cash is a great little border collie... We were looking for a red and white dog that could herd cattle. There aren't many red and whites around. I was lucky to find him on the internet!

Of course, getting him was a challenge...I flew to Texas, picked him up and pretty much flew back (after waiting for 5 hours for my plane to leave....) A few days after we got him, my husband and I walked to the end of the road to a pasture where there are 4 heifers. I thought, I will just let him go and see what happens!

I got about 20 feet away from the heifers, Cash started barking and I let him go. He tore after the cows like there was no tomorrow. Luckily, I had a very long leash on him, and it wrapped around some bushes, otherwise, he would still be out there chasing the cows around. (This is a 4 month old puppy!)
We now will be working him in an arena with cattle, before we let him go again, but he is a great little puppy and we are so glad that we bought him.

Tate is such a funny dog. First day he wasn't so sure about the water or the waves. But by the 2nd day, he was right at home in the water. However, he will only potty (either one) on the beach in the water. Such a silly dog. He loves to play Frisbee and gets very unhappy if he can't play at least once a day. He hasn't figured out yet exactly how to catch it but that may be due to the fact I am a lousy Frisbee thrower. He is learning to catch balls right now but still hasn't got it down completely. He loves people especially pretty girls of ALL ages. He found a crab this morning on the beach and was smart enough to leave it alone.

He finished his puppy classes and will start his Intermediate classes next month.   His teacher says he is an exceptionally smart dog. I am planning on going fishing later in the week. I wanted to get him use to the place before we took on more new stuff.   It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the fireworks. Fortunately, he is not disturbed by loud sounds. I think that may be due to me because I expose him to a lot of stuff including sounds. In the city a dog better be use to sounds.



I just love Tate and I'm so glad I met you and found him. Thanks again.

Claudia,

Just wanted to let you know how Chase was doing. First of all he was the best boy ever for the trip home. No car sickness or any accidents, he just slept and kept us great company. He is definately a "traveling" dog. He is doing great with staying in the house. He gets along with our other dogs well also. He has a great personality and we have never seen him be shy. We take him to the farm daily and even when we had our biggest bull in the headgate getting immunized, he was thrashing around and making noise, chase just barked and never coward from all the commotion. Also, we had a 500 pound calf that ran right up to him and he stood straight in front of him without flinching.

We haven't started actually working yet because he is a little too small, but we are familiarizing him with everything we do. He goes everywhere in the truck with us, he has learned what "get out" means and jumps out well. He can't "get in" yet because he's still a little guy.

We LOVE!!!!! this dog, we have never had such a smart and wonderful dog in our life. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful gift to our family. We will update and send pictures in the future!

Thanks so much,

Hi Claudia

The boys are doing really well. On Friday, Alyx weighed in at 18.3 lbs (up from 9.3 four weeks ago) and Gabe weighed in at 17.5 (up from 9.9). Alyx looks like he may end up being taller than Gabe, but still too soon to tell. Their personalities are coming out in full force and it is so much fun watching them discover themselves as well as collect twigs and rocks.

We took them to a 'dog wash' fundraiser over the weekend. Lots of socializing with people and four-legged friends. They've already mastered "sit" and "down". We start puppy class on Sunday. Busy, busy, busy...ever the life of the border collie.

I've attached a couple pictures that we just took at 13 weeks. We would be happy to write a testimonial and share some more pictures.

Please pass on any websites that have border collie 'stuff'. We won't be going overboard, but I am looking for a bumper sticker that says "My border collie is smarter than your honor student."

Thanks again. The boys have brought so much joy into our lives and it is only beginning.

Claudia,

Thought I'd send a couple of pictures for y'all to have of your former tenant Isis (her name's Emma now, she liked it better). I have probably two or three hundred photos and video clips but these sum up mostly what her time is spent doing, sleeping. She gets to go to Quiet Waters Park in Boca Raton at least once a day and around the lake out front four or five times a day plus plays with everyone she sees outside as well. She has sit and heel down but is working on stay. Good enough considering most dogs can't pick things like this up at two or three times her age. Her white ear is standing up first so it's kind of funny looking but the black ear is starting to get better at it.

Anywhere you throw a sheet on the floor, she'll lay there and pass out within ten minutes. She's 28 lbs now and far from fat. She knows three of her toys by name and will go through the house and find whichever one you tell her to get. She will sit motionless through any entire episode of South Park (I haven't tried any other cartoon, I think it's mostly the voices) and has certain videos that she will always run into the other room to watch and then return, once they're over.

She still doesn't like men (at all), except the ones she has been around from the beginning but she loves women and other dogs, even the meanest dogs around here are nice to her for some reason. She can spot which kids are rough and are eye pokers and will avoid them, the rest she loves and is extremely gentle with, especially those like 4 and younger. She can catch the frisbee about one out of every four or five tries and has to use her legs to help do so sometimes but she's getting there. If you throw two tennis balls for her at once, she'll carry one in her teeth and push the other back with her feet sometimes.

I've decided to get the trick ideas from watching her rather than just using the same ones everyone else does. She takes her tug rope by one end and hits her golf ball with it sometimes, if I can just work with that I'm quitting my current job and taking her to Vegas or Hollywood. I'll get her to wave to y'all when she's on Letterman for Stupid Pet Tricks one day.
