STOPI have a relative with two big collies. Those things love to bark and loud! I'd say that fact is very correct.
Ohh yeah i can bet that hahaha.
the collie is living at my parents house
I myself have 2 adorable cats.
But the collie is really hyperactive.
You can not even take a seat when on visit
or she is pushing the ball into your hands.
What i love about the collies is that they are
so darn smart. If i would throw the ball against
a wall she wouldn't like any other dog go strait at it.
She goes to the position she thinks the ball will
bounce to. And opening and closing doors.
and so many more she can do .
its really funny to see how smart they
actually are.
