Vickie Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) We took Bud, our foster to the farm for the weekend. He had a ball. He is such a good boy, he just fitted in like he had been visiting there all his life. He has such a great recall & no desire to go anywhere but where I am. He is the sweetest boy ever. He loves the ball, loves to tug & is starting to provide Shine with some serious competition for her frisbee. I am going to start some training with him today, will let you know how he goes... Here are some pics, the first of many I am sure. Edited November 15, 2009 by Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Awww he looks and sounds like a sweet boy!! You said he was a foster, does that mean you can keep him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 He sounds like he'd make a great performance dog Vickie and he's a gorgeous boy to boot! I'm sure you'll find him a great home in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) That second pic is terrific!! Thank you...he is sheer power when he moves, a joy to watch. You said he was a foster, does that mean you can keep him? well I could...it seems to be the million dollar question, made a lot harder b/c my hb LOVES him & even suggested keeping him . I doubt we will keep him, it would be easy to but it would change some plans I have for the future. I will be taking him to sheep...am very interested in what he will do. He sounds like he'd make a great performance dog Vickie and he's a gorgeous boy to boot! I'm sure you'll find him a great home in no time. I think he will make a nice performance dog, but think he would be equally happy as a family pet. I'm in no hurry...his training went well yesterday & again this morning. It would be tempting to keep him for my daughter to train & run but I think he is a bit too powerful for her. His tug is a little scary, LOL, very full on & you have to have your wits about you. He really has the sweetest face our kitten likes him the best I will have to get a pic of her attacking his whiskers...it is hilarious & he is totally unphased by it Edited November 17, 2009 by Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocco Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Great looking dog, he looks quite big too. Love the water photo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 He is fairly large but pretty typical size & shape for a working BC. He is about the same size as my Shine, maybe a touch taller. I would say 540mm at the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 His pictures make him look bigger than that - 540 means he is shorter than Kaos Kaos is 570. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westielover Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Nice save Vickie Cute kitty too ..... although I will never be able to bring my dogs to your house as they are terrible with cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 that's NO excuse!!! My boys have always been dreadful with cats, but this one seems to have won them over. She is a smart kitten, she knows there is a fence separating front from back & that she can go over, under & through it whenever she wants. Right now she is asleep on the back verandah...surrounded by 5 dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickie Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 I put Bud on Petrescue this morning & have someone coming to look at him next week. Please someone tell me I am doing the right thing. I can't believe how much I adore him. I am already crying at the thought of him leaving, he is by far the most outstanding foster I have ever had. I feel so indecisive about letting him go . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
