Alfie has his own ideas about the border collies at Kings Green Farm
Just to explain things, I’m a Chihuahua called Alfie, and I live with my friend, Chester (a Papillon/Chihuahua cross – I prefer to think of him as a mongrel).
It’s ME who keeps things together here at Kings Green Farm – the home of the Working Sheepdog website.
I really can’t see what all the fuss is about. Anyone who’s watched Andy’s training DVD [First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training] will know that Chester and I can move sheep perfectly well and even bark at the same time.
Collies are so terribly earnest, don’t you think? All that rushing about and panting? If they’re not herding something, then they’re looking for things to retrieve or jump over or into. It’s so exhausting!
Gillian read me a description of the Chihuahua temperament; it included words like “self important” and “opinionated”. Now I don’t want you to get the wrong idea – I’d be the first to admit that we also have our faults – but if you’re looking for a dog with brains, who’ll chase sheep through mud and then climb into your handbag to dry off (and who isn’t?) a Chihuahua has to be the dog of choice.
At least a Chihuahua knows when to stop. Visit Alfie’s Blog.
