Meet the best acquisition from Day 1 of the draft
His name is "Rookie".
He is a purebred, tri-colored Border Collie.
I reserved him 2 months ago and handpicked him from a litter of 7 when he was born. Couldn't take him from his mother until he was 7 weeks old which happened to be Saturday. I had already picked his name before I knew he was coming home on draft day. How perfect.
Anyhow, he's been a bundle of fun (and laughs) this weekend and I'm looking forward to wonderful companionship with him for many, many years to come.
Enjoy.
And yes... he can play FS.

I grew up on a ranch, Border Collies are very good family dogs. Rookie is cute. Enjoy.

Thank you.
They are wonderful dogs. Borderline genius. And a handful because they pick up on everything.
I already have one who is a BC/Lab mix.
I plan to get Rookie (and myself) into the sport of frisbee competition. Can't wait till he is mature enough to participate. If you've ever seen a BC jump then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

yes, I've seen them jump. We had a BC on the ranch named Gigdet. She lived to be 19 years old. Even when she was 16 she was quick and agile.
Hope the frisbee training goes well. I enjoy watching those competitions.

GREAT lookin pup Quick. Congrats. I can't think of a time in my life without a dog. I like the name too.
