Doug,
Border Collies do have high energy, but their natural instinct is to try to
figure out what their master wants. They are considered the smartest and
most well behaved dog you can adopted. The only negative is they do want to
"work", and if you live in an urban area they can get bored.

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.



Couldn't you train them to chase cars?
