For some time I've been researching livestock dogs and I finally decided that I wanted an old-fashioned farmcollie or working farmcollie as they are also known. This is a heritage collie breed that hasn't had their natural instincts bred out in favor of solely show attributes or to meet the demand caused by the huge increase in popularity as a family, non-farm dog after the tv series, Lassie. So this is Sully, Max's new little brother. Well on his way to being house-broken but a puppy nonetheless. A different personality than Max that I believe will compliment each other nicely when they are both a bit older. For now it's fun to watch. Sully thinks he is as big as Max when he actually weighs about three pounds and Max thinks Sully is a new toy.
A vaguely humorous video of a meeting at the fence. I have to hand it to Max for tolerating a lot of Sully's puppy behavior - what a big boy he is - and a good big brother.
We're still looking forward to getting another BdB from Rufnit Kennels when the right one comes along. And another farmcollie. The more the merrier! So now Sugar Pea Farm is home to 13 quail, 10 chickens, 2 dogs, 2 people and lots of deer, rabbits, foxes and a flock of turkeys. One turkey lives indoors and uses the plumbing.
