as ash saidI can help I have 2 BCs and I am around them all the time I was just wondering what you meant by different ears? you know BCs dont look like anything, they can have ANY ears because looks dont matter in the breed anyway the personality also differs a LOT they can be crazy hyper, one minut and calm and cuddly the next, they can be lazy, or they can hate cuddling etc... they are all different. but they DO need a LOT of stimulation, and physical stimulation does not come close to enugh, you can run a BC for 3 hours and not begin to tire it, BUT stimulate a BCs mind for a half hour and you got a BC ready for a nap but when training do NOT focas on one thing you need to train many things at once and mix them all up because when a BC refused to do something you are trying to train in general its because they are flat out bored. they learn VERY fast, fo example I am working on 5 totaly differnt things with happy but I mix them all up, one minut I have teaching her how to talk, the next she is rolling overm then she is holding somthing, all of a sudden I have her talking again, it prevents her from getting really bored. but they still need a lot of physical exersize and no walk will tire a BC you will need to take it for LONG off leash runs, at least 1 a day. a lot of exersize will NOT make them less likley to herd, herding in instinct. warning they DO stalk, and be prepared to have the BC staring at you regularly for long periods, because some people find this very uncomfortable. BCs also have many tricks up there sleeves lol here is a board for you to join, they can help you with your new addition!
