The Working vs. Companion Dog

Most people who adopt a Border collie from Buckeye Border Collie Rescue want a fluffy, hairy dog.

At the herding trials, I see lots of Border collies that are smoothies, or short-coated.

This spring, I've seen why.

I can't remember the last time Caeli was clean.

On Saturday, I deemed it warm enough to fill the livestock tub with water. I suspect Caeli will be spending a lot of time in it this year.
