You have to train a dog to think.
From Donald McCaig
I'm a workaday writer.
I'd rather talk about dogs than about me.
Rhett Butler is very mysterious. He disappears, he reappears, God knows where he goes. We know nothing about his family to speak of.
In life, sometimes it pays off when you really don't give a damn.
A sheepdog trial is the most difficult test of a man and dog ever devised.
That we have altered the dog genetically is well understood; it is hardly known how they changed us.
Since dogs could hear and smell better than men, we could concentrate on sight. Since courage is commonplace in dogs, men's adrenal glands could shrink. Dogs, by making us more efficient predators, gave us time to think. In short, dogs civilized us.
It is the job of the dog trainer to summon the dog's genetics, not to impose man's will over dog's.
If you don't have work for a border collie or time to train it properly, your bright young border collie will invent his own work, and chances are you won't like it.
