Sorry to hear the bad news.
When our half Jack Russel died, I didn't want another dog(hurt).
Wife and girls really wanted one, so...
Dillon Buck, the Boxer came along.
My handle tells the the story.
Congrats on the pup.
Wish we could see in person what happens, when your knowledge,
combined with the time to work, and what I'm guessing to be a desire to
push your abilities, produces.
Thanks for the kind words. When I lost my previous Border Collie 5 years ago I thought Id never get another dog, but Rommel was here filling the gap, and when I lost him I only lasted a month. My last Border Collie was Ingwedog II, and my " Demo" dog. As such she had 131 commands in her repertoire, along with a vocabulary of 350 words+. She was certified as a Service Dog on Level 1 and Level 2...there is no level 3. She was also certified in Narcotics detection and Apprehension.
I want to teach this new one all of that, plus some tracking and Evidence Recovery. Anything you can teach a Border Collie to occupy their time and mind is a big plus.
