I hope so too!

I adopted a rough collie who was 10 when I got her. She was horribly abused (they had tried to use her in dog fights if you can believe it — a collie!). She was the sweetest dog and lived with me until 14. I tried to fit as much joy and love into her life as I could, to make up for her past. She certainly gave me much joy and love.

One funny thing — she also herded a couple of times. I live in the suburbs, no chickens, but I do have a cat. A couple of times when the cat needed medication and decided to bolt, my Annie brought her back to me. No training, just natural instinct.

Collies (of all types) are amazing dogs.
