No. I had not seen that. Thanks. Barkley was 3/4 Australian Cattle Dog and 1/4 border collie. Amazingly smart. Did whatever we asked of him and seemed to have a vocab of several hundred words. Once when Mr. Mercat was doing Ride the Rockies back when Barkley was a pup, we were camping on the only flat spot in town - very crowded. A bunch of children ran through our campground and Barkley snapped at their heals. Didn’t bite but scared them. I told him to go over to their campground and apologize. He didn’t go to the kids, he went to their mother and got down on the ground in front of her and whined. He knew she was the pack leader.
