Jerry H made me do it!!

[sic 'em reds]

Just wanted to post some pic's of our dog's since Jerry H posted some real nice pictures.

This is the "real deal" Border Collie x Corgi, sheep and cattle working son of a gun.

Mom didn't appreciate getting crowded at the water tank, so they are having a little talk!!

The only decent picture with action of my male dog I could find. He doesn't get after them until he thinks he can. Apparently he thought the stupid training calves weren't moving fast enough.

Here's some good pictures of my female at a trial we had last May.

She fought this steer the whole time and we finished as time ran out.

Heels to head!!

those are some neat pic's
i just love the "real deal" that dog looks cool and seems to have alot of work
a freind of mine has a kelpie in colorado with the same name
the bc's look like good ones also
i like bc's that have enough grit to work tough cattle

Yeah, little Shilo "bug" thinks she's tough. She's 2 yrs old in this picture, and that's about as big as she's gonna get.

I was down helping my dad gather some yearlings when she was about 1 year old. Had to come down off a steep hill to get through the gate. We had about 40 yearlings down at the gate and they all bunched up. I had my female BC with me and we were holding them there trying to get them to see the gate. All of the sudden I see this little black blur and cattle scatter. It was steep enough to hold most of them, but 2 go blarring past me, so I turn to go after them real quick. Shilo is chasin like a firecracker, I'm yellin, dang near run her over with my horse trying to get her to stop. She finally did. Jumped off and grabbed her, went back and spent half an hour getting the cattle through the gate.

Took me 3 hours to get the 2 that got away the next day. After that I decided we needed to get some "structure" in her life. She tries real hard but has "little dog syndrome"!
