Welcome to The Real Time Canine, Part Two



Welcome to part two of The Real Time Canine. In this edition, I will describe the daily life of a Border Collie sheepdog prospect. In weekly posts using words and pictures, I will describe what they learn and how they learn it. Each pup imparts knowledge in their own special way, and through them I will give you insight into how I train a Border Collie Sheepdog from beginning to success.

As with Kensmuir Star in the original
Real Time Canine, you will be with us every step of the way as these talented youngsters acquire the confidence, willingness and skills necessary to attain my goal for them to become a useful working sheepdog and successful trial competitor. I hope you will join us and find useful tips and technique on how to train a sheepdog.


After a lifetime with animals, dogs, horses and livestock, I am happy to share my expertise with you. I have found success at sheepdog trials at home and abroad, and have trained dogs that went on to find success with others. To learn more about me and my dogs, please visit my BorderSmith website, and my BorderSmith Blog!

A 1 and a 2


Another of Jed's littermates, Osa, with her owner, Karen. What a slick family of youngsters they are turning out to be.



The distinction of Amanda Milliken's line of dogs is so clear in Jed, that it is positively striking to me.



For years I did not allow my dogs in the house mainly because I had no tolerance for the dirt they brought with them. My strong feeling now is that I have lost a lot of time.



For a while that funny tail troubled me, because I have a friend who believes that funny tails are connected to bad brain cells. If so, they have dissipated from this dog like formaldehyde in a warm room, and with age, the tail has self-corrected.
