Our Bear

[MandyL]

OK not a real bear! He's a border collie/red heeler cross, and we adopted him from a shelter just before Christmas of 2006 (4 months old at that time). Now that we've moved to the farm he has an absolute blast running all day long. He does some herding with the cattle, and definitely has those instincts, but no training.

As a puppy:

[MandyL]

Aww sorry... Here's a pic of what he did to his bear as a puppy... Does that count? (Beware graphic murder scene pics to follow! LOL)

Going by the stance in front of that cattle yard, he knows just what he's born to do:19:

I definitely second that. He's just dyin to work...you can see it in his face and in his body stance as he's staring at the cattle.
He's a nice looking dog Mandy.

[MandyL]

Thanks everyone. :) At first he would only herd calves, and stand and bark at the big cattle because he was scared of them. Now he's pretty good with them all.

[sandy_n]

Do you have any pics of him herding?

[MandyL]

No I don't... Generally I sit and suntan while the boys are out working. :hmm3grin2orange:

[sandy_n]

Now that's the way to live! :hmm3grin2orange:
