though slow to respond, I wanted to say thanks for sharing these pics. They show very clearly what a good working dog can accomplish while remaining so calm...
I agree with Karen ~ I was out of town for 4 days (driving to Pennsylvania to get my ES puppy!) and just got the chance to go through my e-mail. What a...
Thanks Karen! Although if I'd said "just out for a stroll" to the dogs, they 'd be out in the middle of the yard waiting for me to take a "walk" with...
ES are noted to watch TV shows that involve dogs and/or other animals. Showing a video may work, something I've not thought about other than I know how well...
When we've taken our dogs off the farm for some fun in flyball, they have learned MUCH better by watching other dogs perform the tasks than by us trying to...

Great Photos Peg, It's always great to see how calm your dogs work. I loved hearing about the ways they work together. Also, your discussion below about how...
Gemma turns one year old today. Thank you Tish!! We celebrated by moving the sheep which she loves to do. Even better, a gate was left open and she gloried...
... rather ... This has been my experience as well. The ES is much better at learning rules and those rules make a farmdog that is far superior to the herding...

Tibo is definitely an ES good will ambassador. He is so handsome. Best wishes for successful therapy. Nancy Shelby Natalie and Gracie (NESR fosters) ...
What a happy (and gorgeous) boy! I know that some of mine would be in heaven with an underwater treadmill. A couple would think I was trying to kill them...
I was a little worried that Tibo would not take well to this as we have a small pond on our property and he has never shown any desire to even get his toes...
Hello all, I'm brand new to this group. I've had an ES, Bonnie, for almost 11 years now, and she's the best dog I've ever owned. Up until now, she has...
