Meet Shiloh

[Miranda]

Awe, what a sweetie. I love animals.

I had to get my yellow lab put down this summer. Even though she was gentle, her big dog bark definately keep the riff raff away from my house. And, I felt very safe with her as my hiking campion. There's just something about having a dog of larger size that crazy peeps don't want to mess with. A good thing.

Border Collies can run like the wind. That's my never ending chase me dog on a road I don't go down anymore. All the gym roadies know the same with the border collies. The dog didn't want to bite me. Just heard my bike down like a sheep. Fun dog-mom exercise helps that energy (same with the labs).

Hope you have many happy healthy years together.

Tulip - Get a good book on Border Collies, my favorite is The Versatile Border Collie. They are my all time favorite breed but can tend to train their owner before you even realize it's happening.

I'm glad y'all like him. He's met my BF, and now all of you. He does like to play, but inside the house he's very calm. We're going to do an obedience class, mostly for me, but he does pull on the leash.

He has tons of personality, yet is still a velco dog and just likes to hang out with people. He's not much on other dogs, he can take them or leave them. He likes cats alot and would like to have one of his own, but I'm allergic to them.

I changed my hair for the winter, by the way. Easier when I have to get up early and go for dog walks.

Yes, I'm sure we'll have many happy ears...I mean years...together if day one is any indication.

What a fun looking dog. Seems like he'll be bringing you happines for many years. Congrats on your adoption!

He's so cute! I love the collar, too.

My friend and I walk her dogs with "gentle leaders". I highly recommend them.

What a cutie!

Our Tazz was half Aussie, to look at him anyway. He was SCARY smart. Do not let this dog challenge you to chess.

Congradulations! Nala approves!!! She also wants me to remind you to comb Shiloh's ears regularily, otherwise she'll get painful mats behind her ears . Nala has forgiven me for this mishap on my learning curve.

Herding dogs are loads of fun, and like to be kept busy. If you don't spend time with them, they'll find things to do.........

Walks are good. Maybe Shiloh will learn to play frisbee? Nala never did grasp the concept.

I love him!!! Where are you taking obedience classes at? Nigel pulls on the leash too. I'm not sure where in VA you are at, but the dog trainer at Hunt Club Farms (Virginia Beach) has a very good reputation.
