In January , 2011, I got a Collie (like Lassie) puppy from Colorado. She flew into LAX, and was such a sweetheart from the start! She charms everyone who meets her. And a lot of people don't recognize her breed, as its not really popular now. That's why I had to get her from Colorado.
Any way, she does great with the chickens! I let her in the chicken area with me in the afternoon, when we get home from work, and she likes to lay on the mulch, and eat the poop ;) The girls are very confident around her too (I didnt let her with them until the third week I had her, so she would get used to them without coming into contact), which helps since they aren't running away encouraging her to chase them. That was one of the reasons why I chose a Collie, they are known to be polite to animals. Also great with kids, calm indoors (except 7:00 am every morning!), smart, a great companion dog, beautiful, a people pleaser, and very loving. I would recommend a female Collie to anyone who has a yard, and will have a relationship with her- otherwise, she will get into bad habits (like barking, A LOT!) And she is a little chatter box, and will make cute little yelps and yips chasing her tail, or playing with her toys (She loves my sister's stuffed animals!)
So here are some pics of her at 12-13 weeks old. Enjoy!
