Jogging Makes Border Collies Tired
2008-06-01 23:06:00 So, I want to get back into jogging. I wish I could take three or four dogs jogging, but when leashed on the streets I can only take two. This morning I took Chase and Muffit jogging and they loved it. Chase knows my jogging shoes and gets excited when I get ...

Border Collie Who? Are You?
2008-04-02 11:18:00 The people at Dogster have no clue about Border Collies.In one of those "answer some questions about yourself and we'll tell you what cliché you are (replete with photo and code so you can advertise our website for us on your page)" quizzes, they decided that the Border Collies of the human world are: Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart, and Barbara Walters.GAG! Not a single one of those people says Border Collie to me.Bill Gates is super smart and a workaholic, certainly Border Collie traits. But he's awkward, anti-social, and a nerd. While Border Collies will certainly turn down playing with other dogs at the dog park should you present them with the "job" of playing fetch, they're hardly anti-social. Nor are they in any way awkward or weak or nerdy.Bill Gates made his fame by riding one idea that he stole all the way to the top, helped out at the start with a million dollars from Mommie. Gates' company became the de facto standard, but few people think it works very wel...

Yup, a hillside full of sheep, all put into place thanks to farmer (and author) David ...

Reviews by Einstein My Border Collie Dog as well as Articles, Stories, Dog
2008-02-04 00:39:00 I wanted to add pet product reviews to my blog. But I cannot use or eat pet products myself for various reason because the main thing I am a human, LOL. Then I thought well maybe I should add my dog to the blog then thinking that is a good idea. Since he is the one who uses those products anyway that is perfect thing to do. So the dog product reviews will be the opinion of my dog if he likes them or not. The only thing I will do is type it up for him but it being his opinion. Like with any dog each one like different products and tastes. About Einstein, he loves dog toys even more than treats like frisbees, dog balls, and toys. Einstein will be reviewing those kinds of products more than anything else. Along with some dog supplements, foods and treats. Now my cat Sam is jealous of me showcasing the dog on my blog and not him. They compete with each other for my attention. Therefore, I will add my cat Sam to review cat products and articles. Along with reviews and articles by my thre...

Heath Ledger, Human Border Collie, Dead
2008-01-23 00:09:00 Australian actor (in America) Heath Ledger was found dead today in Mary-Kate Olsen's New York apartment. And why, you ask, would a blog about Border Collie controversy and news be covering the death of an actor?Well, because Heath Ledger is a border collie, of course. Well, at least according to the book Men are Dogs: In the Best Possible Sense by Molly Hewitt.In addition to having a "fairly broad skull, soft flowing mane that frames the face, gentle eyes that see more than they let on, and broad muscular hindquarters," I suspect that Ledger's role as a bisexual cowboy who spent a summer herding sheep in Wyoming played a large part in his selection as "Famous [Human] Border Collie."Sheeple will note that since Ledger is a pretty boy, was from Australia, and was only acting at herding sheep, he should be listed as a famous "Barbie" Collie instead.Not that it matters now, the poor chap is dead. Bon Voyage.

USDAA for Chase
2008-01-21 02:59:00 Well I’ve made a decision today. Usually my main agility venue focus is AKC. And the only reason that is, is because there are more AKC trials around me than any other venue. However, the other venues are getting more popular and there are more of them. Plus, a few people now ...
Training the Collies
2007-12-16 21:34:00 I do know that border collies are not collies, LOL who would know better? It’s amazing how many people get the names mixed up. And I think, in England, a border collie is called a collie, because when I search around I see a ton of border collies referred to as collies. Anyway that’s neither ...
Collies and Border Collies are so Different!
2007-12-11 04:38:00 We have four smooth collies in our house and one border collie. And man, are they different. Chase, the border collie, has taught me so much about drive shaping and high drive dogs. And I hope to use that to help train Tatum as we move through the training process. I went to obedience training this morning and I’m really having fun and learning a lot about obedience. Lucy has her ASCA-CD but that is the only obedience we have done. Oh we have done rally, Levi has his RE and Lucy has her RA but I think we rather squeaked by on those. Chase is really coming along on his obedience. I am going to start doing box work with him. Sits, downs, stands in the box and from a distance. We need to work his ‘go outs’ so he’ll spin and sit. It’s too much like flyball for him to run across the ring, grab the treat, then come back. He sure is fast though and he loves it! He is not even in Novice yet but we are working all levels with him, open and utility too. Tatum d...

Popular Paws: Border Collie
2007-11-26 09:43:00 Border Collie: "Dog", from The Footrot Flats (1975-2000) Footrot Flats was a comic strip written by New Zealand cartoonist Murray Ball. The cartoon was based around the life of Wal Footrot's Border Collie called "Dog", on their farm Footrot Flats (hence the title), and the other characters, human and animal, that came into their lives. Dog's thoughts are voiced in thought bubbles, though he is clearly "just a dog". The main character of the book, a Border Collie, thinks of himself as tough, but he is really quite soft and often cowardly. He has a real name but despises it and has never allowed anyone to reveal it. Wal always calls him "Dog", gaining loyal devotion. He is often put to use to guard things or asked to get rid of rats or pigs - which he fails to do. However, he is a competent sheepdog all the same. The cartoon ran from 1975 until 1994 in newspapers around the world, though the unpublished strips continued to be released in book form until 2000. Altogether there are ...

No Border Collie Left Behind
2007-11-26 03:58:00 You know I jest with my "Border Wars" rhetoric, but there is a real war going on with real guns and grenades and casualties, and apparently there are real Border Collies in the middle of that war. Border Collies in Baghdad of all places; who would have thought?One such pup is Charlie and this is his story:One night, while on guard duty with the US Armed Forces in Iraq, Sgt. Watson’s squadron returned from patrol with a new buddy. Weak, malnourished, and at death’s door, a black and white puppy had decided to adopt the soldiers of the unit known as Charlie Company. Sgt. Watson wrapped the shivering puppy in a blanket, gave it some clean water, a portion of his own rations, and provided what refuge and comfort he could for a poor life he expected would sadly end in a few days – another innocent life cut short in a harsh and unforgiving environment.But the puppy rallied back, thriving on the care, attention and affection of Sgt. Watson and the members of his platoon. A real survi...

Third Estate of the Border Collie
2007-11-20 11:07:00 reprint from 9/16/07The First Estate of the Border Collie is as a working stock dog.The Second Estate of the Border Collie is as a conformation show dog.The Third Estate of the Border Collie is as a dog sport athlete.The Fourth Estate of the Border Collie is as a house pet.Purists in the first estate will be pleased with their ranking, but this list is not judgmental, nor preferential. It does not extend from most important to least important, but rather from monolithic to democratic, from specific and narrow to diverse and broad. Fundamentally, the list documents the history of formal organization. You might argue that conformation showing is the most monolithic and the most specific, and you'd be right, but it is far behind trialing in history and in moral ownership of the breed.I firmly believe that the Third Estate of the Border Collie is a significant player in the future of the Border Collie, unadorned with romantic history and unbound by a rigid and arbitrary "breed standard...

Border Collie breeders | dog breeds
2007-10-04 21:09:00 Border Collie BreedersIt is true that dog breeders who breed uncommon types of dogs are not as easy to find as dog breeders who breed the more common types of dogs. The more common breeders, like that of Border Collie breeders can be readily found across the country and you won’t have to go to special lengths to find one nearby where you live.However, it can be difficult for some people to find Border Collie breeders who meet their stringent standards. These people might expect perfection from the breeders themselves and will tolerate no latitude of failure. If however, you’re willing to come down a little from unattainable perfection, and can admit that breeders are also human you will be able to find good Border Collie breeders near you.The main thing that you want to do when looking at breeders of any type, not only , is to make sure that they are running a clean setup and not a puppy mill in disguise. This is simply accomplished most times by visiting the breeding establishm...
Border Collie Flies High, Lands Hard
2007-10-01 19:11:00 Border Collies are known for their gravity defying leaps and spins on the frisbee field, and on occasion a spectacular crash and roll. But New Mexico Border Collie Jade and his owner Jim Grainger bring a whole new meaning to crash landing:A Taos man and his dog walked away from his fiery aircraft Sunday morning (Sept. 30) after he “controlled-crashed” about a mile short of the Taos Municipal Airport runway. Jim Grainger told The Taos News that he got up to about 8,000 feet altitude just over the Rio Grande Gorge, when finger-sized flames started coming out of the console in front of him. “Fuel ignited in the turbo, burned up the engine, then the plane,” he said after arriving back at the airport tarmac. “The engine ran out of fuel.” Grainger and his Border Collie Jade scrambled clear of the aircraft as it slid to a stop on the sage south of the runway, and they managed to get luggage out of the front and save his passport. “I lost my billfold, glasses and cell phone,â€...

Border Collie
2007-04-17 16:18:00 Spot, the Border Collie, of the purebred nature, showing his natural talents, watching the horses in which he knows that is all that he is allowed to do. But I do like this pic because he has that intent Border Collie look on. He's quite good at herding the goats as long as he is not distracted by his soccer ball.Please visit http://midwesthorse.blogspot.co-m/index.html for more horse stories, information and resources.
