Horses with blue eyes to are difficult to see whats going on in their heads too. Glad ya liked the site. When ya get through with that one, I'll send ya links to some more.<BR/>XOXODarcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113110576392325773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781387502683453512.post-83559114424129719372009-01-31T19:17:00.000-05:002009-01-31T19:17:00.000-05:00WOW!

I'm impressed! What a great site that is. I never knew there was so much to learn about a border collie. And those eyes! Does Chris have a blue eye on the black side of her face? Most that I saw and read about did. Thanks for showing me how to learn about your dogs. I love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781387502683453512.post-57250132050410820022009-01-31T18:24:00.000-05:002009-01-31T18:24:00.000-05:00Here ya go Mom.http://www.gis.net/~shepdog/BC_Muse...Here ya go Mom.<BR/>http://www.gis.net/~shepdog/BC_Museum/<BR/><BR/>If that doesnt work,just type in to Google, Border collie museum and that should get ya there. The reason in short, that my collies look so different from the collies you see in the dog shows ya watch on TV is because ours are the True Working Border Collie, bred for their working ability only,and not to a conformation standard like the Barbie collies of dog shows. We do not breed dogs for color or body style, or ear sets, only for their ability to do an honest days work. Chris just got lucky,and got beauty, brains, (though some would beg to differ on that score LOL!) and her natural abilities and instincts to read and work stock. Some are pretty fugly though,just look at Hank! <BR/>XOXO<BR/>DarciDarcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113110576392325773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781387502683453512.post-52628090652138319212009-01-31T15:55:00.000-05:002009-01-31T15:55:00.000-05:00I am completely fascinated at the way border colli...I am completely fascinated at the way border collies are born with totally different markings. Look at those three at the top of your blog. The only thing that they have in common is that tongue hanging out as they work! And that adorable puppy with one side of her face white and one side black. Is there a logical explanation for that? Oh, are they (border collies) ALL black and white, or do they come in other colors? As you can tell, I know NOTHING about BC's, but I'd sure love to hug one!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781387502683453512.post-5334984644138071602009-01-31T15:02:00.000-05:002009-01-31T15:02:00.000-05:00You can say that again! ...Er, but dont, cause sh...You can say that again! ...Er, but dont, cause she may hear it and think her self centered plan can still have opportunity to come to fruitiation with her undying persistence!

A few weeks ago I may have considered it, but as she becomes a little less.... intense, Im begining to like hanging out with her a little more these days. The silly little cow! <BR/>Im finding that she is trying to buck the new system, and she is a clever thing,and is adapting new ways to get her way, as she is realizing the old ways wont work any more. I think she is a borg.Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113110576392325773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781387502683453512.post-64106526930451916242009-01-31T10:37:00.000-05:002009-01-31T10:37:00.000-05:00Thanks Loretta, since I apparently missed the boat...Thanks Loretta, since I apparently missed the boat and am a bit late to work on the "could have been" we're working on the "is already, but aint gonna be anymore!" LOL Im amazed at how happy and chipper she is staying throughout the entire process. I thought Id have seen some pouting by now, but Chris remains as happy and sweet as ever. The hardest part for all of us,is that Im realizing that Chris over the years has gotten us all very well conditioned to absentmindedly throwing her toys for her, when she drops them in our laps, which would be like all the time if we allowed it, and it has become such a habit that we really have to think, and catch ourselves. She is a slick little one that girl is!

Some dogs just have a pathologic need for attention.
