06 Nov 09 - 03:58 AM (#2760648) Subject: RE: BS: My clever dog From: Wolfhound person We had a border collie when the kids were little. In the absence of sheep, she kept them where we wanted them. Then she had a daughter to a bearded collie - turned into a sort of affectionate floor mop, but an excellent mouser, who disposed of the evidence completely in one bite. Our current Border x black retriever is more of a retriever than a rounder up - she got a mouthful of baby jackdaw, brought it to us and spat it out alive and intact. She also had a phase of retrieving all the hedgehogs in the garden for us - but eventually the penny dropped, and she stopped bleeding. Paws |

06 Nov 09 - 05:24 AM (#2760664) Subject: RE: BS: My clever dog From: GREEN WELLIES Our border collie, Fly, is usually on duty at the stables. If the horses are in and waiting for their feeds sometimes one will bang their door with their hoof. Fly runs to their door sits and barks just once, then another horse further up the row will bang its door, so off she goes to that one - sits and barks just once, then another .......... get the picture. We're not sure if they are all playing the same game, or the horses are taking the p**s ! You may think well she's not that smart, but the thing is we've never taught her to do this. She's just worked it out for herself, that they shouldn't bank their doors ! |

08 Jan 10 - 06:25 PM (#2807034) Subject: RE: BS: My clever dog From: Richard Bridge That IS a handsome Dane, and although it is hard to tell without a shot showing him properly stood, he looks to be of good conformation, too. There seems to be something a bit funny about his pastens and there is no way to assess the turn of stifle. A Blue is usually smaller than a 'quin so his coloration makes his size all the more remarkable. |

I have a couple of granddogs I think would love it. My McNab BC seems to be "above" playing games, but ya never know..at 14 maybe he could learn.:-) Good and smart girl you've got there! |

09 Jan 10 - 11:15 AM (#2807509) Subject: RE: BS: My clever dog From: wysiwyg MY clever dog (Faulkner) NEVER gets up on furniture uninvited, even if we are out of the room!!! Unless there is fresh cat barf to clean up on the topline of the LR sofa back, in which case I do not mind finding a few black (therefore Dog) hairs on the washable throw that keeps the nice (expensive, gift) sofa from getting too much hard-to-vac cat fluff. ~Susan |

09 Jan 10 - 12:10 PM (#2807544) Subject: RE: BS: My clever dog From: Stilly River Sage I was feeding the dogs a few weeks ago and as usual we were on the back patio. I fill the bowls as they wait, and move them to opposite sides of the porch out of habit. Each dog sits and waits for the command to eat. The pit bull somehow wasn't sure I'd given her permission to eat, and because after I pointed at each bowl I stepped away to look out the gate, I didn't notice she wasn't eating while the catahoula was. I heard a wimper and looked around to see this dog quivering but still patiently waiting for permission to eat. Such a good girl, resisting that temptation as she awaited my command. She would be a wiz at this puzzle. SRS |

10 Jan 10 - 07:14 AM (#2808129) Subject: RE: BS: My clever dog From: Stu This thread is making me pretty sad in a way. We lost our working sheepdog Lily after 15 years of being a member of the family at the beginning of December. She died in my arms and we miss her so much, and my wife does especially. I feel she's still here and reading these stories of dogs is a bittersweet experience as it brings back so may happy memories of our Lil. Sigh. |
