What activities do you do with your Border Collie and Why? General Chat

If I had the time and space I would definately look into acquiring another collie purely for sporting purposes and i'd choose a pup which would hopefully have all the drive which Jed unfortunately lacks.

On second thoughts, i'd get an Aussie for this purpose!

Have to agree with Hali, besides Reah too bone ideal, and certainly has no interest in sheep. But since having Skye she is a runner/jumper, so set up small agility ring in garden, she quite good, especially loves going through tunnels, have thought of going to clubs, but thats me be lazy now

I do obedience and agility with Flynn. I originally got him for agility but after going to puppy obedience classes we just carried on as he was doing so well. We competed in some open obedience shows this year and he won 2 classes, pre beginners and a beginner class, he also qualified for the special pre beginner obedience stakes semi final at Discover dogs. He done all of his set exercises brilliant but messed up his heelwork as he was looking at the crowd of people to much !! He is only just old enough to compete in agility and so next year we may give that a go as well.

I've been doing obedience with Len and am hoping to start agility around may time.

Oh well done! i have a Flynn too!!!! Where do you train?

In obedience i train with Halstead dog club, they are great !! We are both learning because i have only done obedience for fun before and never competed until i had Flynn.

Ive got a couple of friends at Halstead you must know
