My Dog Shyloh - The Dog I've Been Waiting For.....

(Alberta, Canada)

This is my 6 and a half month old Border Collie. She was born on July 17th 2009 in Alberta Beach, Alberta. We adopted her on October 20th 2009 from a couple living in Edmonton, Alberta when she was 3 months old. They couldn't keep her because of allergies.

We have had her ever since then and she is a wonderful little dog. She had three other siblings, a tri-colored female named Dusty, a black and white female named Dakota, and a blue Merle male named Blue. They all live in Alberta in various places. Shyloh's mom was black and white and her dad was a Red Merle.

In the three months we have had her, she has learned a lot. When we first got her, we put her in Beginner obedience training classes at Petsmart, she passed that class without a doubt!

Now she is currently in the Intermediate classes. We will be putting her into Agility in 2 months! She knows a whole bunch of tricks, such as Sit, Lay down, Stay, Come, Shake, Other Paw, Roll Over, Spin, Take a Bow, Paws Up, Say your Prayers, Touch, Bang (Play Dead), and Wave. I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of for now. She is a wonderful little dog and i wouldn't trade her for anything in the whole world!

I have waited for a dog since I was in 5 or 6 and im 15 now. She is definitely what I was asking for!
