Boston terrier agility

I took a lot of photos while at K9 Athletes. My first batch had some lovely shots in them but I neglected to check the light and they were really overexposed. Kicking self. However, here’s a cropped shot, from that group, of a Boston terrier that I think is pretty cool.

Most intelligent breed? – I

September 13th, 2009 Averill No comments

Border collies are touted as the most intelligent breed of dog. I’m not entirely sure I agree with this, having daily evidence to the contrary. I will admit that in my experience they are the most trainable, and among the most creative dogs I’ve had the pleasure to be around. Here’s Zip demonstrating her creativity on Karen’s large birdbath / dog waterer.

August 18, 2009, was the day our puppy Zip learned that she could swim – and liked it!
