my pup is doing great here , he is with me most of the time depending on what im doing and he his learning well im lucky as i have a dog trainer neer me who has given me lots of advice , he is a quick learner , he has meet the sheep only due to the fact that they are most days in the back by the door flipping things just cant seem to keep them in there own field think they think they should live in the house as well , but he was realy good and just sat by my side until i put him and the other dog back in doors , he does recall and sits we are now working on liedown , and i know a collie will a instint in working as i had a cross breed when i was younger it was a collie cross dalmation and he would round any thing and everything up also realy hard work as we lived in a town,he has now met all the animals we have here and the only proplem i have with him is with one of the cats he seems to not like him very strange , he sits and watches the pigs and is very good around the ponys he walks throw the birds well and dosnt chase any of them im always on the look out for advice which i get from some local farmers and i never turn any down even if they tell me im doing something wrong as we are all human and make mistakes .
