[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1846980, member: 24816"] There’s a special place in my heart for Border Collies, had one for several years. We think he chased a varmint out of the yard one night and got hit in the road, he was an older dog. He was a brilliant dog but had a lot of quirks. We were supposed to get him at around eight weeks old, but the folks called and wanted me to take him early at not quite 6 weeks, apparently he was showing aggressive behavior to his brothers and sisters. They said said they had to take one pup to the vet with injuries. I didn’t think I much about it, I was a single farmer and not many people around. He was a great dog to me, but was a challenge at times when he wanted to be the top dog over me. That phase was short lived and he accepted me as leader, but was aggressive towards other people as he wasn’t really socialized. He accepted my wife, but she knew not to mess with him. He also accepted my mother since he had known her since I got him as a small pup, but she couldn’t get much out of him unless I wasn’t around then he would listen to her. [/QUOTE]
