The most strenuous thing I have done all day is jump on the couch. Pippen, you are the smartest dog I know after reading all of that. All I know is that my Mom says that if herding sheep is anything like herding PRESCHOOLERS, then Border Collies are the smartest and hardest working dogs on earth!!!JustMeCopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379312617853464601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8064510.post-23110222811122075452007-02-16T19:50:00.000-05:002007-02-16T19:50:00.000-05:00Wow Pip on a soapbox!!Sorry Isabel, poodles are a ...Wow Pip on a soapbox!!<BR/><BR/>Sorry Isabel, poodles are a working breed too...at least they were supposed to be....<BR/><BR/>I like to see the breeds, but I hardly ever seen BCs in the big dog shows...havent' they started to require BC exhibit herding as part of it in the pretrials?

You are ever so wise. <BR/><BR/>Having read the AKC standard of appearance, I was expecting to see quite the variety of border collies, much like our flock, in the video. I was most surprised to see 12 fluffy black and whites, and 1 fluffy red and white. What does that mean?<BR/><BR/>I do prefer working sheep to taking baths. <BR/><BR/>Your flock-sister,<BR/>TansyTansyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939541425309652789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8064510.post-42269878404734001562007-02-15T09:33:00.000-05:002007-02-15T09:33:00.000-05:00Great post, Pippin!
