It ain't around here. Kids, Daughter in Law,, Son in Law, Girlfriend,
Boyfriend, six dogs four of which don't belong to me, two grandkids,
two cats....

AAARRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Six dogs. You said six, as in 6. Six dogs.

Six as in two Border Collies, two Australian Blue Heelers, one English
Bulldog, one German Shepard. At the moment, they are playing keep
away with each other in the play pen in the back yard.

Shortly, they will be brought in and the kids will help me give them
all baths, wash/dry and then to their crates for a couple of hours
while the dinner table is set up. One dinner is finished, they are
let out to join in the celebrations.

It's kind of charming actually. They all get together and take over a
corner of the living room and just sit watching the activities.

I trained each and every one of them and they are all excellent dogs.

Keep your dog opinions to yourself.

Even the border collies behave? How on earth did you accomplish that? They
always seem to have a natural internal source of methamphetamines.

Training, training and more training. Both of them go through an hour
every other day, we run through all the obedience commands, then we
train a on a skill like tracking or herding (the farmer in back of me
lends his heifers for that) and then it's play time. Play can be any
number of "events" - mostly high energy events like chasing balls or
playing soccer.

They are great dogs.

The kid's dog is here and is Lab, Border Collie mix. Still not completely
under control, but is only 6 months old. Tries to be a runner. Wants to
play with the cat. Cat is staying under the bed.
