Focus is a border collie after all!


This is Focus. For most of his life, I have called him my "un" border collie.
Mellow to a fault, happy with life - loves people, other dogs, no motion sensitivity. Easy to live with - sort of a lab in a bc suit. In fact, he still lives most of his life in that fashion. But, when we are in the chute to go onto an agility course, he loses his mind - screaming, tugging, panting.... the first time it happened, I was sure something was wrong. This lasts for the entire course - at the finish, he growls and tries to bite me (got my stomach once...), and then it's over. He looks up with a happy grin, saunters out and resumes his normal life. It's odd, but it sure is a blast to run with him.
