Border Collies and Australian Shepherds dominate their classes at Dog Agility competitions. My 65 year young friend has a large wall full of ribbons and awards for his A/S. As a matter of fact he dropped dead 3 Sundays ago while staging his Joie for a run here at the fairgrounds. God said no way and had a nurse and a doctor in attendance to start CPR plus the fire department was in another building collecting toys and they had a defibrillator with them. He had bypass surgery the next day and is none the worse for wear.
No Deer were harmed in his survival...
My Dad dropped dead working his Border Collie in a tracking contest in MI
Glad your friend is ok, and I am glad my Dad died doing what he loved.
That said. Aussies are much less demanding but equally hard working dogs.
Thats what Mom has now. They do agility.
Well, isn't that something??? :)
YOWZA's on your friend!!! I'm really happy God wasn't done with him yet, here on earth...for all of your sakes.
Fortunate...maybe he needs to change his show dog breed....LOL!
