Cough* Tinny is obssessed with fetching, does not matter what it is she will fetch it. I have had to resort to having no toys around when outside with her at times because she just wont give up. She was even finding bits of paper than have been carried in by the wind to fetch
Happy is the same way, you think there is nothing around she could possably play fetch with? dont worry, she will find something lol. she is so obbessive that she will NOT play with other dogs, ever tryed to play fetch with a BC until they drop from exaustion because they refuse to exersize any other way? your arm will fall off before that ever happens lol

as for soft? depnds on the dog really, Happy is very soft UNLESS she is working, if she is actually working stock she requires very strict, and harsh corrections. every other time she is so unbelaivably soft its annoying lol

Misty however is very hard headed, she requires harsh corrections regular life. BUT when she on on stock she is extremly soft, and the smallest of things will scare her off.



now for general BC things, it depends on the strain, there are 4 BC strains all very different.

show BC- generaly more laid back, they tend to have a uniform apperance, and just about garantee'd to be rough coated. how smart and keen they are depends on how far back the show breeding goes, all strict show breeding 3-5 generations back will make for a rather dim, relaxed dog.

sport BC- insane. sport BCs are bred to be extreme drive all the time, they regularly go through multiaple homes beause people cant handle them, and I know a few that have been deemed dangerous dogs because they were so drivy.

working BC-this the the real BC, properly bred they have an off switch, so while they are able to go for hours, they can also sleep at your side when you like, they have a huge varience in apperance because they are bred for only health and working ability. the working bred BC is the most intelligent of all the types.

and finally

Pet BC- these breeders could not care less whast lines their dogs come from or what they can do, all they care about is breeding down the energy and intelligence to make the dogs suitable for a couch pototo.
