In my eyes he's just gorgeous, and utterly cute and irresistable to boot. I really can't look at any dog and see ugliness, but like anyone there are some that particularly catch my eye and collies, both smooth and rough, are one of those for me.

My Cody was a bit of a chewer till he was 2 or 3, especially plastic things. He chewed up the garden hose, a couple plastic buckets, and some of my stuffed animals among other things . Willie was never much of a chewer. Both of them would scrape the ground or carpet with their claws when settling down for bed, but neither ever just dug holes just to dig. I think overall they were pretty low on the destructive scale.

Tasha was a terror as a pup. She was the first pup I had who ruined pieces of furniture. Tommy was worse about soft things like laundry, socks, slippers, hats .

Thanks for sharing the pics of Gully, he's precious!
