" Dat antwoord was bedoelt op jouw opmerking dat je denkt mijn huidig ras te kennen.
Voor de rest spreek ik in het algemeen. "
Toch moet ik altijd een beetje grinniken wanneer jij alle werkhonden op één hoop gooit.
Dit:
Is toch echt geen:
of:
Ieder werkras is doorgefokt op de capaciteiten die behoren bij dat specifieke werk.
Denken alles te weten van alle werkrassen omdat je er één of misschien 2 in huis hebt gehad is dus nogal onzinnig.
Zoveel weet ik tenminste wel al ken ik maar één werkras door en door.
Verdiep je in die capaciteiten en dan begrijp je waarom ik zeg dat Border Collies moeten leren om rust te nemen.

>The Border Collie has been selected because of certain qualities which make it the perfect dog for working with livestock. These qualities, however, may be cause for trouble when Border Collies are kept a family dogs.<
En dan licht ik er even eentje uit:
>The Border Collie isn’t calm by definition – he has yet to learn to be calm
The shepherd cannot afford to lose a sheep because his dog is exhausted. When at work, the Border Collie often goes beyond its own limits and it has to rest when the job is done.
In everyday life this means that the Border Collie hardly shows any signs when things are getting a bit too much for it. No matter how worn-out the dog is – it will continue. Border Collies don’t have an emergency stop button, that’s the way they were bred. And so it may happen that after hours of ball games, you dog still doesn’t seem to get tired – because it rather drops dead than stops by itself. Therefore, it is the owner who has to take the relevant decisions. The dog can’t afford it. Calmness is something that these dogs still have to learn.<
