TAPS, Barking Mad, a British show, is a good one, too,
and I get a kick out of another one I saw yesterday with a sort of British Dog-Dominatrix, but I am not sure the name of it.  Animal Planet channel, all in a cluster, Sunday mornings...  He might like that one!

Ciel, Son #3 has a border collie named Rocky that has so much potential and he loves him to death, but he is rather out of control and not trained well (the dog).  I try to get son to watch some of those "The Dog Whisperer" TV programs on the National Geographis Channel, hoping he will learn a few things.  But, he doesn't like to be told what to do.   He has developed his own strategy of yelling at the dog.

For the briefest instant, TAPS, I considered sheep...

Truly, very briefly!  But first thing yesterday, I was watching several of the dog training shows, and it looks like a pretty easy thing for our yard and situation to set up an obstacle course and train him to be busy and smart that way.

I am going to bookmark that link you sent, too!

Thanks!

Ooooh! He's so cute. I just love dogs! He looks like a bear.

Remember, border collies have an innate need to be doing work.  Keep him busy.

HAHAHAHA.  Good for you, Ciel.  You will be good for each other.  If you have any trouble with him, contact "The Dog Whisperer" @ http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/.

What a darling! A keeper for sure. I love his face, it is so war and inviting.  sam

He is a mostly border collie, 7 weeks old

and we are trying to organized acceptible sleeping arrangements even now...  He seems to like the box he came home in, nestled up with a soft blanket tucked around him like his litter mates. 

We scored a big heavy cardboard watermelon bin down at the grocery store, and will try putting him in there in the little box in a while.  I predict it won't be long before he is whimpering, whining and weeping...  Unless one of us joins him in the box.

What a cutie!
What breed is he? And I guess we'll get to see and hear more of him...
