Hell thats definately something different ! What breed is he? What does he work like ? Cracking looking dog !

I bought him as a Scotch Collie pup, his parents were both working dogs in switzerland and were then imported and then bred together

I bought him as a bit of an experiment/interest, I thought if it went wrong then I would keep him as a companion, I suppose it went right and he works every day as my main dog
I guess he works how a dog in-between a huntaway and a border collie would work, he is faster and sharper than perhaps a huntaway is, but he works upright and has a voice/alot of presence

He is very good at droving/pushing big mobs of sheep or groups of sheep which don't want to go anywhere, but does not have a very good outrun. However I do use him for everything including gathering/droving/yard work and he does do everything and get it done, just some things he is better at then other things :)

My collies just love being close / watching over Freddie. Whenever he's at his seat, so are they.

They both pay even more attention with the Supervet recordings that Freddie enjoys

Ours stick to our daughter like glue as well. Love being with you all the time and are so smart, but as soon as she is home - off they trot.
Ours have completely different personalities which is quite funny sometimes, the way they stare at you.
