Hi,
Buddy
has been with us over a year now and is a fully integrated member of
our home. Naughty is his middle name, but in a nice way, gets in to his
fair share of mischief with his partner in crime, our other Collie
Flynn.
Our
obedience trainers always remark on his incredible intelligence, saying
he is the brightest dog they have come across, we tried him at Flyball,
not his thing. Then we started an Agility training course and he
instantly took to it,
after a few weeks he is training with the intermediate dogs.
His
undoubted intelligence shines through as I have seen him focus and work
obstacles out, he is a different dog and he slows himself down (a
miracle in itself), concentrates and works through the course, I really
feel I (as a total novice) am hodling him back. Our club has a show in
february and i think we will give him a go, he really loves it.
He is a very pretty boy and knows it, he has a band of admirers everywhere he goes.
Today
was his introduction to snow and his little eyes nearly popped out with
wonderment as we let him out in to our 6in covering this morning. He
really loved it and was bounding around "bunny" hopping in it, snow
ploughing with his nose, he insisted on 3 long plays in it as I was
unable to get out to go to work. We have 2 very tired young Collies
tonight!!
He
is a complex little character and has some baggage from his short life
before Wiccaweys but he is such a loving chap and has clearly opened his
heart to us, sometimes he really needs a cuddle up on the sofa with us
to reassure himself.
Attached are a couple of pics of him in the snow today, 18/1/13.
Regards
