From a 2004 Vassar newspaper. I'd read about Border Collies degoosing golf courses by chasing geese into the water and when not allowed onshore they would go somewhere else. First I've heard of actually chasing them in the water.
$45,000, holy goose crap.

A beacon of journalistic rectitude, moderation and accuracy.

Dogs will do anything for a biscuit; even perform CPR.

Posted for no other reason than I like dogs.



What a wise and dignified group they look.

It's the winning photo in the 'Dogs at Work' category of the Dog Photographer of the Year competition run by the Kennel Club.

They know their job, they do it well, but spend most of their time patiently waiting for humans to get up to speed.

Golden moment

Hundreds of golden retrievers gather at the Guisachan Estate in the Highlands, where the dogs were first bred in 1868.
Organised by the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, the 150th anniversary of the breed near Tomich, Inverness-shire, saw 361 dogs at the ruins of Guisachan House, once the home of Lord Tweedmouth, who bred the faithful canines.

A small cash prize awaits anyone who successfully replicates that scene with 361 Jack Russell Terriers.

Tar & Feathers for anyone gathering 361 Jack Yappy Russells near me.

They can be disagreeable little beggars at times!
When I was a kid the people across the road had a wire haired Jack Russell which was probably too big for his breed.
He'd spend most of the day waiting behind the front gate for someone or something to bark at.
During this noisy performance he'd leap almost the full height of the gate from a standing start and when whatever or whoever had upset him had passed by, he'd hurtle indoors and jump up onto the window sill to continue the display until the 'threat' was out of sight.
I recall that he once entered into mortal combat with a weasel, not a decision to be made lightly, and won.
Having said all that he was great with Dad and me. He'd greet us with the enthusiasm of a puppy!

But 361 enthusiastic greetings can be a little overwhelming.
I like big dogs, I can not lie.
You other brothers can't deny.

Tweedmouth? I thought that was Bruce's humor, but from Wikipedia:

"Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth, also known as the Laird of Guisachan and Glenaffric."

Yeah and they don't have to mow the back yard either.
