My friend Lady, a black&white border collie, age 13, is getting old and arthritic, as I am. She is very helpful in my small cow/calf operation. She has some faults but considering that I know little about training cow dogs, and that I trained her she does quite well.
Considering Lady's personality and our relationship, I feel that I should not bring another dog home until she passes on. I would like to hear opinions from people who use dogs working their cows. I would especially like to here from owners of working Border Collies, Australian Shepherds and Australian Cowdogs. I'm interested in their strengths, weaknesses and personalities. I chose the Livestock forum instead of Pets forum on CBNET hoping to get more useful input. Thanks.
