    The Loneliness(?) of Rose a Border Collie

    If you like reading stories about dogs & how they love to work, read
    this neat article. I read it & I don't think she is lonely at all, she seems to
    love her life & her place in the world.

    Rose is an idividual for sure. I have watched Border Collies herd sheep at demonstrations and it is something I will never forget having watched.

    That is how I came to understand the hard working nature of this breed.

    I especially enjoyed reading about her relationship with her owner. Rose is a hard working dog., not to mention, highly intelligent. Lonely? Not a chance!!! I wish I were her in fact!!! She's a pip!!!!!

    Thank-You so very much for providing this article --

    Rose is a barbie collie owned by Katz, he left Rose alone with his sheep as a young puppy, then watches her charge and retreat at sheep and calls her a fantastic working dog. sorry but that man is an idiot and BC people hate him for a reason.
