Things I know

#1. Border collie crosses are the best dogs.

Hi

Two weeks ago I didn’t know there was such a thing as a low D whistle. Now I know how to make one. (It turned out not half bad…)

Happy Whistlemaking

I know I wasted a lot of my youth being stupid and now that I know better I can’t afford the stuff I wasted.

Snowshoe Siamese are the best cats.

Waldco is one of the less evil corporations. Well, not less evil per se.

I know I’m going bald on top.

Really? More than pure bred border collies?

Embrace it. At the earliest opportunity, go for the buzz cut. People quickly will go from saying to themselves, “amar is going bald” to “hey, amar’s bald. Big deal.”

That’s quite clearly wrong, it’s cocker spaniels.

I know that Scotland are top of the hardest qualifying group in the history of the European championships, while England are only just holding their heads above water in the easiest.

American cocker spaniels are known to be of a different temperament from those in the United Kingdom.

Cats are the best dogs.

Really? How so? Ours are blinking nuts. Hyper, happy and friendly things.

Well, ours are that… but… there’s just something… different enough the American Kennel Club started keeping a separate stud book for the British ones.

American cocker spaniels also have a year shorter life expectancy.

I also think that in recent decades they have a tendency to be higher-strung and at times snappish. Bad breeding practices, I think. That may have been corrected to an extent though.

I know what I know.
I have seen what I have said.

It’s a thing that I do with the

I know that I’ve never liked anything Paul Simon ever sang. :laughing:

AND…

my Collie/shepherd/chow mix can jump, from a standing position, 5’10". (Ive measured the moist nose marks on the wall) :open_mouth:

Second this question. Sincere. I had a pure
border collie who was a great, great dog.
Are crosses better? With what?

It’s kind of interesting when you realize your dog,
except for not having a syntactic language, is as smart
as you.

I am trying hard not to say… not to say anything derogatory… trying so hard…

Coyote mixes make the best cats.
