It was a great show. So many beautiful dogs....And yes in southern Indiana where a dog is usually a hound, there were many in that class that could easily be justified as a winner.

My older Border Collie helped a local dairy farmer round up some dairy beef that found their way through fences and into the woods last summer. As he said his dogs (hounds) didn't know what a cow was. I simply asked my girl where are the cows, she looked in their general direction. When I told her to go get them, she herded them back to my field. He was very impressed, as was I, she'd not worked any large live stock before. She's a GOOD Girl!True to her breed

We've had more than one "Timmy's in the well" moments with her care of dad. She knows it's her job to look after him.

She sounds like a great dog. : )

Mine are both 15lbs or under. My Pom mix (I think she’s a Papiranian (papillon mix), though there’s been discussion of her being a Pom/Schipperke), is my constant shadow and the barker of the 2. They’re both rescue dogs, adopted at about 5yrs old each, about 8 months apart.
They don’t herd anything, but they keep me busy. lol.
(also have 2 cats)
