Not many here know that I lost my beautiful GSD " Rommel" last month to unknown causes. It is extremely hard to think about another dog, but after a month, harder to live without one. In the Tradition of IngwedogI and Ingwedog II I present to you Ingwedog III call sign " Lily" Full blood Border Collie, and since I am now fully retired she will get the benefit of learning literally everything I know how to teach a dog. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4FqgZxw.jpg) And she is on the left, with a littermate... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/sX3l5A0.jpg)

I'm currently on a waiting list. JFC... don't tell me dogs are in short supply too. I guess there is a meat shortage.

Beautiful girl. She's very fortunate to have you for a pal.
I understand the, "harder to be without" thing. My wife thought we needed to wait longer after having to say goodbye to our first, but I couldn't stand to be without a companion.

Damn...so Sorry to hear you lost Rommel...just twists my guts to think of it. We have gone a year without a loss but my shepherd husky mix is almost 15 and she is slowing down a lot.
Good luck with your new pup.

Nice Tom. Sorry to hear about Rommel. We are lovin' the hell out of our pup. She is dead asleep next to me here in a hotel in Blanding Utah after an eight car ride.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

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.

Tom, sorry about Rommel Sucks to loose a friend.
I'd love to have have a Border Collie but as they say a man has to know his limitations and one of mine is that I am simply not smart enough to train a BC. Too smart for me.
Congrats on the new pup. She is a looker

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.

My condolences on the loss of the Desert Fox. There's nothing worse than losing a dog (and I just lost my dad last year, so I'm including that), but giving a new pup a great home and life is always the best way to honor a loss.
