Terri the Border Collie

Terri is a young adult Border Collie.  She has the typical energetic BC temperament.  She is the type of dog that was never content to just lay in the sun & watch the grass grow.  Terri NEEDED a mission .. a job .. something to keep her mind & body active.

Lady Luck smiled on Terri in the form of a nice lady with some acreage, some cows, a herd of goats & a need for a good dog to help her keep tabs on all of them.

These pictures were taken at Terri's first introduction to the farm.  With a little training, it looks like she will have the "purpose" in her life that she desired and the "furever home" that she deserved.

We look forward to getting updates & more pictures soon.

UPDATE 4-12-2005:  Hi Carol, I was just going to update you on Terri.  I changed her name to Kari.  She is doing great.  She really loves the goats.  Every time I let her out to help me go feed she wants to go straight to the goat pen.  She just sits by the pen and watches them.  Sometimes when I feed, the cattle try to come over and eat my hay out of my golf cart wagon, I look at her and tell her to keep them away and she pushes them away from my hay until I call her off.  She is very smart and always wanting to help me. Thank you so much for bringing her to me.  At least now I don't have to chase her for an hour to make her stop.  Thanks again.  I will try to send you some pictures.

Update 2-08-2005:

Just to let you know that I changed Terri's name to Kerri. She has been great. You would not believe how well she minds. She watches me where ever I am at. We are still learning together. She is very smart. She sits, heels, goes down when I tell her to, and I can make her move cattle when I want to. I have never taken her to classes. She has picked it up on her own. Her favorite thing to do is when I let her out of her pen everyday is to go and watch the goats until I need her for something. I really love Kerri. She is the smartest dog I have ever had. I don't have to chase her anymore to call her off of the cows. It only takes one time.
