Excellent pics! i love your dogs!!! very jealous of the new location too. Please dont tell me now that your BF is lush............it will be too much for me!
:-D Thanks Mish. I think my boyfriend is lush ... not sure others would though Thanks for your nice comments.
Wow, those pictures are fabulous!! Am finding out more about Collies every day as I work with the daughter of a famous shepherd (is that what they're officially called?)
Yes! Are they officially shepherds? I wasn't sure if that was the correct term for a sheep-owners and BC worker!
:-D They are farmers rather than shepherds, and the Longtons (both Tim and Thomas) come from a very famous trialling family. My boyfriend is a shepherd, as he is employed to tend sheep. Tim and Thomas own their own farms and farm cattle as well as sheep - so that makes them farmers. Hope that makes sense Thomas is the guy in the first photo of Moss as a pup in this thread He is a great guy and has been a real help to me in training my dogs and learning to understand the working sheepdog
