Roy!

That crazy little gal is going to be earning a paycheck. She'll head or heal and I'm really getting a good handle on her at 9 months, easy to call off the cows and actually pays a bit of attention to me! I bet I'll be able to send her a 1/4 mile away and have her bring the cows back pretty soon. We've been trying to practice most everyday.

I'd like to run her through a radar speed detector.😊

The Border Collies are amazing. I have used the same ones on both sheep and cattle/.

Just don't put her in a situation where she could get hurt. At her young age, it could take away her courage and confidence. She's doing really well. Super well.

She's not "chasing", she's working

I'm doing my best to keep her under control and safe. I can almost stop her on a dime with a whistle, not saying she'll stay until I release her.🤣🤣
She really wants to behave, but she IS still a BC pup.

Exactly, when she's caught "chasing " them she's guilty and runs straight for her kennel (jail). " go to jail Roy!"

Sounds like you have her respect and that's paramount. Good for you and for her.

First thing she wants to do on her own is bunch 'em up and hold them.

Ummmm, you didn't post a pic with her ears. Still epic?

Wow, well done.

Good listener. She pays attention.

 

[Named'em Tamed'em]

She has her harness on because she loves to ride in the back of the pickup.

 

[Named'em Tamed'em]

this should have been the 2nd to last picture, when she gets them bunched and turned towards home I calm her and leash her. And we ease up the aisle.

The cows appear to be a reasonable group to start her with, and Roy is learning "there is a plan".

That's a nice lookin' collie you got there Named'em, they surely are an amazing breed. I won't have a dog that isn't mostly border collie. Those ears remind me of my Bree dog, she'd swivel them around up there like radar dishes. I swear she could hear a mouse fart at 300 yards out. I lost her last July to an underlying infection that somehow presented as a false positive for diabetes. Vet had never seen it and she's close to retiring. That one hurt a lot but seeing those ears on Roy brought back some good memories, thanks for that.
