My wife came into the marriage with a dalmatian as well. Sometimes I can see the looks of utter contempt on my border collie's face while she watches the dal's antics. And yes, it is one of the harder things to get the bc's to stop what they're doing while herding. You should go to some of the border collie field trials. THAT is where you will see just how outstanding this breed really is. I know people who own farms who said that they no longer have to tend to cattle anymore. Just yell at their BC's to round 'em up, and it's done. All they have to do is close the gate behind the livestock.

Border collies are amazing. OF course they absolutely rule in agility.

We almost got a bc - a friend of my husband's bred them. Unfortunately, he died of a heart attack, and I swear his widow had those dogs out of there almost before he was in his grave. We waited a decent interval to ask her about a pup, no more than a week or two, and the dogs were already all gone. Guess she didn't like 'em.
