HI! Thanks for this website! I’ve printed SO many pages for my husband and I to read and re read. We have a beagle/ border collie mix with the emphasis on border collie!! I think we were banking on the emphasis being on beagle - what a surprise. We thought getting a beagle would be difficult - HA!
Jack is a really great dog, very happy and eager to please. We have 3 kids and he tends to try to herd the 3 year old and sometimes the 7 year old. Your website has helped us understand his behavior better and we will be looking for a trainer, who is very familiar with the breed, to help us with him.

Thanks for all the info and for letting us know that we are not alone

AnnRan,

Thank you..we’re really happy with him. And what a look on Magpie! She looks like she’s ready to go.

Ned’s a handsome boy.

I’m hopelessly in love with borders too. We have one right now: Magpie, she’s 7. And yes, she lives for tennis balls. She’s had her challenging moments (mostly in her first year with us), but we all understand each other now and she’s a blast. Our first dog was a border and he was darn near perfect - we got lucky with him. Unfortunately, all subsequent dogs are compared to him!

here’s a pic of Magpie: http://twitpic.com/14yxf
