Foam!!!! Welcome to the Collie Club!!!!
Ozzy is absolutely gorgeous and what a great name!
I just love the blue merles and there's nothing better
than kissing those long Collie noses. I'm just loving
all the pics of him and can't wait for more.
Since you want to do agility with Oz and Collies can be a
lil' timid, I wanted to give you a lil' tip while he's still in this
puppy stage. Socialize, Socialize, Socialize... To people, dogs,
places, noises, surfaces, cars. just anything and everything
you can think of. Also, the one thing I forgot was movement
under his feet. That's really caused us issues with the teeter
totter. You can get a lil' board and put it under a broomstick
so it's not high at all and then just have fun with him running
on it.
Oh and along with Socialize, Socialize, Socialize is Play, Play,
Play... A strong play bond with Oz is going to come in handy when you start actually training for agility. I see a lot of people
that seem to forget agility is a game. It's all about play for the
dog and just having fun with you.
There's a yahoo email list for agility where you can get
tons of good advice, called Clean Run, that you might want to
check out:

You are going to have such fun with this lil' guy. Collies are
just the best. Looking forward to more pics of him as he grows
up.

We got her at around 5 months from a BYB. I don't regret any bit of it. If I did, I would have never ended up with such a great dog.
