Noreen I am so sorry that your Sheltie is deceased - I remember you
describing the breed to me. When we were in Scotland we were at a B&B and
anothe couple said " Oh ! you are Australian - I have just bought an
Australian Kelpie sheep dog - may be you could tell me how to start training
it ?" To this I replied - just leave the dog with any poultry you have in
your yard and it will teach itself to herd - the knowledge is inbred. what
is its name I asked?"
The answer it is a bitch named Gwen - I should not print what DH said to
that - " I have one too", he said and introduced me !!!! God Bless Gwen

[giggling] I'm sure they would've included Scotland if they'd known YOU
were
there!

Funny how the mind works.... just jumping in here with my rambling
thoughts...
My Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) {and they are NOT miniature Collies!} - now
deceased (sniff, still)... her AKC full name was:
Jamesdaughter of Aberdeen
being a play on words, as our last name is jameson - get it -
jamesdaughter? and Aberdeen is a county in Scotland....
We just called her Abbey.
My cousin Renee's Sheltie (now also deceased, sniff) was a full neice of
MY
dog, and her AKC name was:
Abigail, neice of Aberdeen
They just called her Abi.
Aberdeen.... Scotland.....
Well, at least I have an on-line friend there!!!
sorry to ramble...
Noreen
