I ADORE this dog. He is amazing. He has the best disposition ever and so smart! He has saved my horses several times when deer have taken the fences down. The grey mare, Blu, seems to always think she needs to head for the highway when she gets out and the TB, Shadow, follows right along. I'm terrified they will get hit by a semi or gravel truck out there as we are on a ridge so drivers from the east can't see until they get to the top - at 60mph or more. That dog rounds them up and herds them back into the fence every time like a champ. We did not "teach" him to do this, although I know it's instinctive for the breed to herd, but he just knows what to do and where to put them. Once they had gotten 3/4 a mile down the highway before the dog knew they were gone since they went out from the far pasture and someone called from their cell phone on the highway. My mother in law said, "go get those horses" and he stuck his nose up, took off in the right direction and came barrelling back several minutes later - stampeding those horses right back in. I love Finn!!!
