I just discovered the video "The Colle Walk" and I'm absolutely addicted to it. I had the joy of sharing my life with a border collie who came to me when she was 11. At that age she wore me out and for the life of me I could not fathom why anyone would deliberately get one of the dogs. By the time she died four years later I was a complete fan. I just am disheartened when I hear from Border Collie rescue people about the problems that have developed since the AKC "accepted" border collies and how the emphasis on looks is creating unsound dogs. Seeing your healthy classic borders being the exceptional beings they are just made my month.
