He certainly appears to be in his element. I see a smile on his face! Cute picture.

Do you buy a herd of sheep next?

We have 2 Border Collies, brother & sister. They love to "herd" each other all the tiime. We recently aquired 2 kittens about 6 weeks old, our Collies think they're the kitties parents and have started herding them. The only thing that freaks our female out is when one of the kittens finds a nipple and tries to nurse. She has never had nor will have puppies, so this part she doesn't like! Lol

That is outstanding! My brother had a mini-schnozer (Sp but you know what I mean) that didn't like anyone but him. He loved Mike which was his saving grace...he never bit anyone but he used to growl at us constantly when we were over there.

Oh how wonderful! Now everybodys happy!

A long time ago I had an Australian Shepard. He was black and tan. My cousin owned his grandfather who was a typical Australian Shepard - blue mottled with one brown eye and one blue eye. One time the neighbors chickens got loose into my cousins yard. Her Shepard herded them all into a corner and kept them there until a human came along to put them back where they belonged. Everyone was impressed since he had never been trained.

My sister once had a Border Collie named Lizzie...she would 'herd' children if they were too close to a place where they might get hurt. Lizzie had to be put down due to her great age. My sister has a young Border Collie she has named Xena the Warrior Princess...and she climbs trees! No, seriously! She posted pics on Facebook!
