We have a whippet x Bedlington who's currently fast asleep next to one of the cats in a patch of sunlight on the living room floor. She has hopeless recall, unless it suits her, is an excellent sitter and is 100% reliable with the chickens. She doesn't do much to earn her keep, but I'm absolutely besotted with her!

Two collies - both 11 now. Well, Meg is a collie and Tess was sold to us as a collie, but seems to have more terrier instinct than collie. We did a bit of obedience training and a bit of agility before other time demands took over. They are just pets - our sheep don't need a dog, just a packet of oatcakes

We have a rescue Doberman boy and a Border terrierist. The border catches rats expertly but the Dobie is just a bony cushion, hilarious and lovely tho!!

Here they are when they arent chewing each other!

I think it was about 91 when I met Harris Dunlop he came over to the UK and searched me out , to see how I conditioned dogs

We've got 3 a collie who will semi work sheep and geese, but also a first class beating dog(dog used to flush birds on a shoot for those who didnt know) a cavalier who is a lazy sod but when it comes to ratting he loves it and a lab who is 9 who still is a first class working gundog although she is winding down slowly because she wont accept her age.

Would love a border terrier think they're lovely dogs

if you mean harris dunlap and im sure you do then maybe you could share your knowledge even more. he has of course caused so much controversy within our breed.

We have an old man collie who will still chase a ball at every opportunity, a chocolate lab who can catch rabbits but refuses to bring them to you prefering to eat them herself (she is good at eating anything really, rotting carcasses a favourite) and 2 beautiful and crazy springer spaniels who love to work at cuddling and looking cute!  We have a German Shepherd bitch booked though and should receive her in Sep/Oct (can't wait).  She will be trained for agility if she likes it or another family addition if she doesn't.  Love my dogs, so comforting and loveable x

We have a 9 year old collie springer cross, who is from working parents.  She is having a brilliant time with the geese and runner ducks as she seemed to have found her instincts and is helping us no end when it comes to herding them up to put them to bed!  She knows to go round them instead of through the middle and creeps towards them instead of charging, so to say she has had no training she is fab!!  We also have a 3 year old Newfoundland, who is fantastic, she also tries to help with the herding, but does the exact opposite to the collie ie charging through the middle.  She tries so hard to copy the collie but doesnt seem to understand why she is doing it!!  They are really funny to watch though, and soppy as hell with all the animals - couldnt fault them at all!

Current pack is Two Giant Schnauzers and a Northern Inuit

Oh, I love Northern Inuits - my next dog 

[feldar]

We have two rescue collies, the male works cattle well, a bit too keen for sheep and a bitch who works sheep if she's in the mood for it. She is really gunshy and we have a shoot nearby, so some days we don't even take her with us.
I once saw a staffy x on an estate in wiltshire work sheep as well as any collie. We were gobsmacked i didn't know this breed would work sheep but he brought them in and penned them and i think he was crossed with a terrier breed!!
