Fender ABCA #288886

DOB 07/22/2006

Red & White Medium Coat

Fender is a blessing to have at our ranch, when we got him; he had only very basic training. We went to a working trainer as he was our first border collie. The trainer only took on dogs with talent, and he said in a heartbeat "yes" to Fender. Fender was proved to be an excellent dog, he can switch from cattle, sheep, goats, hogs, it doesn't matter. He got down and dirty with a sow that would load!  He loves to go with Kelsey to work, and help him any way he can. From just riding in the tractor and watching the critter scurry at harvest, to bringing the cattle in for banding or doctoring, he doesn't care as long as he is working close with Kelsey. He will work either end, but after a hard day, will crash and relax.

With herding he is awesome, he has excellent "eye", he knows what they are thinking, and moves to correct. We couldn't ask for a better bc as our first.   Below are a few picture of him in action, or just crashing after a hard day. Click on any to enlarge. 

This series, he was working an individual to a certain pen. He didn't press hard to make her run, and got her where he wanted her...

Some just as I caught them as he worked around the ranch.

And after a hard day, just relaxing.....or playing football~!
