Little collie girl

[Moobli]

I’m not sure she will ever set the world on fire with her sheep work but she’s very sweet and has fitted in with my pack as an active companion no bother. I’m going to keep taking her to sheep for the time-being but she gets distracted easily and has taken to peeling one off and hanging on to it’s wool as it drags her down the field ? so I’ve asked my OH if he could make me a round pen (something he’s never really needed or used) so I can at least protect the sheep more easily and everything is contained in a smaller area. I think she will definitely work but it’s unlikely we will be attending any sheepdog trials in the near future ?

She’s very pretty though ?

Just an update. I did consider changing her name as Cookie is not a name I’d ever choose (I like more traditional sheepdog names) but she knows it and so it’ll stay. I tend to shorten it to just Cooks.
I gave her a break from sheep and just spent time polishing up her general obedience and getting to know her. She fits in very well with my two GSDs and they generally just ignore her . We took her to the training sheep again last week and she was much more engaged, so there is hope. She’s very wide off her sheep at the moment which is partly her breeding but I’m hoping she’ll tighten up a bit with time and further training. She loves coming on long walks and makes a lovely hiking companion.
I was told of a vet couple who were looking for a young collie and I briefly considered meeting them to see whether they would be a good fit for her but in the end decided I just can’t part with her.

O, look at her, so gorgeous, and cute. I like her name, suits her.

Nice to have an update Moobli, glad she is fitting in and you have discovered she needs to stay!

Well I'm not at all surprised you couldn't part with her, she's gorgeous

I regularly meet two friends and their dogs for walks. I was taking my GSD bitch Tay and collie Cookie but I’ve started just taking Cooks as it’s a really good opportunity for me to get to know her without the others demanding my attention. A friend took some gorgeous pics of her yesterday

She is gorgeous, reminds me of my favourite girl, sadly long gone.

She's as cute as a cookie, so I think the name fits.
