I wish we got HBO so I could watch, too.

He has some wacky ideas and is definitely a flawed individual (like the rest of us.)<br /><br />However - I am still looking forward to seeing this movie just to see what they do with it.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354659358121622498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039160623051576860.post-49442707569920233382009-08-30T08:33:19.494-04:002009-08-30T08:33:19.494-04:00Oh goody you have opened up a border collie rant c...Oh goody you have opened up a border collie rant comment section! Ok here is my rant:<br /><br />I grew up with two bc's, they were wonderful calm dogs, smart, we dragged them everywhere, blah, blah, blah. My sister when she was in her early 20's got a bc for her kids so they could experience what we did growing up. She was hyper, couldn't concentrate it was like an ADHD border collie! <br /><br />Anyways they have tons of health issues, temperment issues and they have been way overbred, its sad and I hope to god this never happens with our Cardi's.<br /><br />Ok rant over, I don't know who Jon Katz is, I'll have to look him up.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730909562562626170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039160623051576860.post-10725400880365265822009-08-30T06:10:18.459-04:002009-08-30T06:10:18.459-04:00Jon Katz makes me SO angry.

He's a jerk capitalizing on the romantic ideal of farming rather than actually LEARNING about how to work a BC right, or actually TRAIN a dog with a serious behavior problem. He killed that poor dog without ever consulting any of the MANY great professionals right in his backyard in upstate NY, and has made tons of money crying about his death. <br /><br />Devin wasn't a rescue in the true sense of the word, either. I know some bad stuff had happened to him, but he came from the same breeder and the same breeding as Katz's other BCs.<br /><br />There's a lot about him on Bordercollies.org' boards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
