Title: settling in well
Post by: langdon on July 14, 2010, 08:26:42 pm

my two boys are settling into their new home well.
came home for luch today from work and was glad to see them still in their pen and sleeping.
was even more pleased to see that they have found the water.
i still have to say, they do look up to no good!.
they seem to have got used to shep ( sheep dog) running around the place :D

Can you train him to round them up if they do escape, our labxcollie has taken it on herself to be rounder upper in chief, she is also good for putting recalcitrant chickens to bed.

Car chasing is a worry I know we have a few farm collies in the area who are monsters for running out and biting the tyres.  It must be a collie thing.

Chasing cars does seem to be a collie thing one caused me to write off my car, just no way that I could run it over.
