This is my most recent purchase.......Shep 
Got him 9 weeks ago and now he looks like this........
Hopefully my next purchase will be a mk5 gti 
Best purchase you will ever make ...... Would give my house away rather than my dog
Probably the most intelligent dogs around, their capacity for learning is huge, my parents bought me a Border collie Bitch when I was 7 years old, It was just before christmas (She was NOT a christmas present!) she was named Holly (by me), I trained her quite well (for a 7-8 year old anyway), used to go to dog training classes twice per week with her. I taught her all the usual stuff, sit, stay, lie down, heel, not to move until told to do so etc, she would sit there with a doggie treat on her paw for as long as you wanted before allowing her to have it, I also taught her not to go near roads when she was on her own and by the time she was 12 months old my mum used to hand her the dog lead (which she took hold of) and she let her out the back door, she used to scoot over the dry stone wall at the toop of the garden and cross about 1.5 miles of fields and she would sit there at the rear school gate (Which joined onto the local park) with the dog lead in her mouth
, we would then walk home together (with my best mate who was not allowed a dog) via the park where she loved nothing more than fetching a stick/chasing us round and trying to catch a trout in the river (She did catch them a few times but used to spit them out again before I had chance to get hold of them
), she probably should have been a spaniel such was her love for being in water
best dog I ever had, she lived until she was 15yrs old.
Makes me smile when I think about her
Enjoy shep, he looks like a good un
