We were looking for a Border Collie to enable us to do agility training. One afternoon I popped into the local shelter and they had the sweetest Border Collie-mix. Look at that face! I adopted him, even after his blood line was revealed. Yes, he's part Border Collie but the other part is SAINT BERNARD! We named him Wilson and he grew into a big round rollie pollie dog. The only thing that can be identified as a Border Collie is his coat. He's shaped like a barrel. He's one of the most lovable dogs we've ever owned. As far as the agility training? That went out the window with this one, but about a year after bringing Wilson home we adopted a full-blooded Border Collie. That one is super fast and agile! The two play well together, and together they herd our other 4 dogs and 4 cats. We have horses too but I do need to get some sheep for this breed -- their natural herding ability is instinctive! Blessed are the animals who live on our farm.
