Papillions #8??? Well then that Papillion in Dougal's agility class must have been the world's blondest papillion. She wandered off from her owner - while he was trying to get her to weave - then she saw the tunnel and you could see her think - O I like doing the tunnel - so off she trotted as a LARGE rottweiler was entering the tunnel from the other end. Hmm ... but then again I really don't think the dog was entirely to blame - the owner was a couple of cans short of a six pack.
And what's so great about Border collies? Agility is absolutely lousy with them.
O yeah they want to work and they're obedient, but I'm sorry how does that qualify you as smart? If you throw a ball into the sea a collie goes in to retrieve it - a yorkie sits there looks at you and thinks "that was silly, You're going to get cold and wet going to get that." Who's the smarter dog - I mean really?
(I guess I just love the independent spirit of the yorkie.)
