Border Collies of the Rich and Famous

Posted on December 28, 2007 | No Comments
Border Collie Royalty Buddy and Kingsley Border Collies are an attractive, but not particularly glamorous breed. More rural and suburban than metropolitan and certainly not inner-city urban. They exude a...

Letters from the Front Line:
- February Genetics Quiz (19)
  - Christopher: Let them complain, I’m well within the rights of every American to speak freely and to criticize the speech of others. If they don’t want to take the heat for breeding double merle dogs, then they should not do...
  - Kathy Bittorf: Chris I want to apologize to your readers for the run over of some collie chat list. Jana even states something I posted on this list? Is that retaliation for her letting the cats out of the bag? Guess I know how...
  - Jana: Your guess is as good as mine. I can’t even figure out how to respond to this person in an appropriate way.
  - Christopher: No thread. The Collie folks are having an extended chat on one of the Collie posts and it sort of spilled over to here.
- Double Merle Breeders: In Their Own Words 1 (83)
  - Kathe: Jana, can you send me a e-mail from my web site and I can get some pictures off to you? His nose is black. Kathe
  - Jana: Yes, I’d love to see! It looks like he has a black nose, too, not gray like you’d expect.
  - Kathe: Jana, Jake has the most beautiful chestnut brown eyes. I can try and get a close up picture of them if you would like this weekend. Kathe
  - Kathy Bittorf: Jana: The question of eye color would be best answered by the breeder. The expert that found “Coat Color in Dogs” series of posting states it is still guessotyping even with good photos, and even hands...
- Bunnies Can Herd, Really! (9)
  - Kathy Bittorf: Dave you are so right…big ears possibly even the pricked ones. Love this discussion. Kathy
  - Dave: Big ears are essential to herding. Everyone knows that. Link is a .RTF format.
  - Kathy Bittorf: Chris think you make a good point. The hound and rabbit situation were male dogs. The smarter ones learned to leave him alone. Kathy Bittorf

- Ethiopian wolves on the hunt February 4, 2012
  I love watching these things stalk. Source. I call these wolves the Farley Mowat wolves, because they actually do live on rodents. Contrary to what this documentary says, these wolves are actually more distantly related to the wolf and dog species than the golden jackal is. The initial mtDNA study on Ethiopian wolves suggested that they were recent derivativ […]

- How wolves increased biodiversity in Yellowstone February 4, 2012
  Source. This video mentions something really important. It’s called the ecology of fear hypothesis. In this hypothesis, fear plays the vital role. If a prey animal has to be afraid of a predator in a certain area, its behavior will change. This is perhaps best described in study that examined the role coyotes play in keeping domestic cats out of areas where […]

- Some nice golden retriever puppies February 3, 2012
  This litter was bred by Djanick Michaud of Zomarick golden retrievers in Quebec. You can really see the intelligence in their eyes! […]

- Money spent in January February 3, 2012
  I totally meant to do this on the first but spaced out. Idea stolen from The House of Two BowsI am only going to include Conker's expenses. While I may buy the food for Juneau and Sasha, I'm not using my money to do it. Same goes with vet expenses for those two. Stuff like toys, leashes, harnesses, etc. is included since I don't plan on leavi […]

- Strange Tri- Hybrids February 3, 2012
  From reader Roberto Buonfante comes this "natural" domestic pair and their young, in Italy: a Buteo X Buteo (Redtail jamaicensis x Ferruginous regalis) mated to a Harris (Parabuteo--!-- unicinctus) and their first of several successful clutches.Seems they might make great hare hawks! Roberto writes:"... the Harris [and] the red/ ferr. were pla […]

- Horse slaughter and puppy mills February 3, 2012
  "Slaughter has become the garbage can for the performance horse industry." --Patricia Hogan, VMD, ACVSI'm not sure if I've made my position clear, but I'm not against the killing of horses, per se. Not against people who eat horse meat. Not against rendering plants that turn horses into dog food, glue, and leather. Nor zoos and big c […]
