...but we still love him. Our Little Freddie, 50% Corgi, 50% Border Collie, 100% nuts. He wants soooo badly to be a real herd dog but we have not gotten around to providing him with professional training. He knows a few commands like "COME !" and "AWAY !" and then my favorite, "IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN I'M LOCKING YOU IN WITH OUR BIGGEST SOW ANNE OVERNIGHT AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO WANTS TO BITE THE HORSES TAILS AGAIN WON'T WE ! ? " Yeah, he knows the simple commands. But he has a terrible time knowing his left from his right. Let me show you.
Spots piglets, age 6 weeks, (1/2 Red Wattle and half crossbred, we call them the "spotted wattles" ) wandered over to the horse pen,
Then I yell and clap my hands and they begin running
Or in the case of the most frightened pig...FLYING towards their own pen.
When they get across the drive and are heading into their pen where they belong, what does Freddie the Wonder Dog do ? Well, he stops them of course.
Confused, they run back and forth. Confused even more Freddie runs back and forth. Confused most of all, I yell at Freddie and the pigs. No one listens to me. Finally, one of the piglets makes a break for it and they run right through Freddie and the electric fence.
Poor Freddie. Poor poor Freddie. "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me ."
