Rowdy

Rowdy is a very happy guy that has one thing on his mind... Playing ball! He's about two to three years old very healthy and current on everything including heartworm preventative. He is a neutered Border Collie and like any good working dog, he wants a job. He'll chase his ball all day and would love to go for a hike or romp in the woods.

He's been with us in school for a little over a week. He came from the folks at the Calaveras Humane Society. He was returned from the San Francisco SPCA because they said he was resource guarding or aggressive over his ball. Like other dogs we have through our program, we did not see the problem they reported as the reason for the return. He willing gives up any toy. Of course, he hopes the came will continue, but never grumbles or complains when we take the ball or toy. When he is playing with the ball in his kennel he runs around and 'talks' to it, which they may have through was aggression.

Obedience is not his favorite activity, unless there is something in it for him like, guess what, a ball! But he will happily go along with you all day just waiting for the games to begin.
