Hopefully he doesn't become that protective. But we're hoping he is protective enough the wife feels safe. Failing that, we have a derpy dog who is very cute. Either way is a victory.Border Collies are great dogs, so intelligent, I've had three. They can become very protective, when my daughter was young, she had one and it would not let any bloke including me near her

My daughter had trouble with her landlord entering her flat uninvited, so she taught the dog to dislike men. Landlord did not come back after being bitten! The dog eventually got to like me after a man came into my daughters life, he was a roofer and the dog would sometime go to work with him. Trouble was the dog would climb the ladder onto the roof given the chance, no problem going up when he would lay on the roof or scaffolding and watch the work but he could not go down a ladder and had to be carried

We had a collie like that for my sister when I and her husband would go away to work. An ex para tried to enter the house, for some strange reason, while she was there alone.
Dog did not allow it.
He made sure she was safe til his dying day. Unbelievable loyalty - to her alone. Make sure before you go away he has your scent in his nose/bed

Doggie school? Mostly it's owners that need training not the dogs.
That could well be true.
If he's anything like my daughters he'll play with anyone

Finished colouring my tyres in, checked under bonnet - didn’t close it properly - buckled the locking lifter! Damn
Now that's a good fleet.
Many thanks we like them. Just don't pick on the missis when she's in the MX5 cos she comes back and gets the rangie and makes you pay. White van man learnt this to his mistake.
Tailgate me now you bastard was one of her replies

Eventually got round to weld as small patch on the n/s front of the inner sill, well it was advised last Sept so thought as we had a bit of sunny weather I had better get it done before the next test.
