I love that play stance dogs do- I like it when they do it to me when I get my play stance on I can picture Gracie's friend running circles and barking at a kite- all my doggies got nutty like that last week over a couple old crows in the backyard- crows were lovin it makin extra crow noise

I think the "herding group" can tend toward obsessive behavior. Once they focus on something, it's hard to get them off it. Missy's owner told me she (the owner) tried a laser pointer for a chase game......and Missy was still looking for it, two hours after it was turned off.

yes that is pretty obsessive. My computer guy he had one years ago but he did not get that poor dog enough exercise and it became very neurotic. So sad to see, chewing even at himself. I think he gave the dog to someone with acreage. They definitely need a purpose in life or at least a chance to wear themselves out.

Well, that running in circles stuff is very much herding behavior. Shelties love to spin around and I swear they can turn on a dime. Some have a much stronger herding instinct than others though. Penny constantly tries to herd every person and dog she meets! I'd like to do some herding training with her. She's so smart and really wants to please.

It's true! Plus I'll forget about it, then I'll be in the back yard and she starts nipping at my heels and trying to head me off!

Speaking of shelties herding, this is Django's sister Brooke:

Some good vibes, prayers needed for Petey, we are trying to get into a stem cell study. They are injecting doberman hearts with Stem Cells, hoping that it reverses the DCM. They have done two dogs so far. The trials they did on other animals all went really well. Today I submitted all his health records and I'm waiting to hear back weather or not he can have the procedure done. If this works with dogs, it can lead to a cure for damaged human hearts in the future. It would be pretty cool to be part of such a important study. I'm hopeful it could buy my boy more time.

Will keep Petey close in mind.

Wobbie

((((vibes)))) for you and Petey. I hope you get him into the study and that it's a success!!

Gracie's study seems like its been good (fingers crossed)
