Chase came to live with us in August 1999 at 7 weeks of age. We picked him up at the airport and as soon as I lifted him out of his crate he gave me puppy kisses all over my face. It was love at first sight for both of us! He was my first border collie and I was very anxious in anticipation for this new member of the family. I was hoping that we would be a good match and that I could provide enough mental stimulation and physical activity for an active border collie. I soon realized that I had worried for nothing. My active lifestyle made me an ideal candidate for a BC and Chase made it even easier on me as he is a rather laid back border collie. He enjoys and thrives off all all the exercise I give him but at the end of the day he will cuddle up on the couch to watch T.V. He is a great little agility dog, we run in the 16" height division and love giving the shelties a run for their money! He loves people, especially kids and is overall a very sweet, loving dog. Recently Chase has also started herding and this is definitely his favorite activity now. |
