CH. Baby Fiàin doing her favorite task of the week. Geese Patrol.
Believe it or not, it's actually how I got into Border Collies, aside from a children's book. I went out on actual geese patrol as a kid with a Farmer across the way from our farm. He was hired by the golf courses of Pinehurst, NC to come out and patrol courses with his Border Collies. His were Scottish imports and were wildly driven dogs. Some only he could touch. He took me along when he saw how intrigued I was by the dogs he had, as well as my strong interest in learning more about herding. I was 10 years old at the time. But I absolutely knew then and there it was the only dog I ever wanted to raise with my heart and soul in it.
