This channel supports a blog landrtravels.com, about the traveling adventures of Linda and Regis and their dog Dart.
Linda and Regis Burek and their dog Dart travel regularly in their motorhome and document what they find along the way. They also explore locally from their home base in St. Augustine, Florida and sometimes travel by other means. They highlight the wonders of the world around us. The love to do this by taking photographs and video and wrapping them together with words.
These blog posts begin with their first adventure in 2015 and they update it regularly. They produced their first book in 2019 about the first year’s adventure. (The Gifts of the Day: Traveling and Camping With Dogs). The book is an adaptation of the 2015 blog posts and includes pro-tips for those who are interested in traveling in a camper or motorhome.
The boy, Raven, was making the noise at the end. Raven is a talker and has a lot to say. Clover, the female, is the barker. She alerts to everything. We wanted to make sure they know how to get out if they fall in, but did not want to traumatize them in the process. A dog trainer told me to do it this way and it is working. They are not thrilled about going in the pool, but they are ok.
One of my members had a partner in a Poseidon Costume with the trident too and all and an unveiling of the already painted new name ( No goat was sacrificed )
Collies are the best. Whether Rough, Border, Sheltie, or lots of the mixes. I've had two Border mixes and a pure Border, they all enriched my life tremendously. Thank you for sharing Clover's "appreciation".
We have had collies and a sheltie and have adored them all. I love the herding dogs. Clover continues to stop Raven from eating. He is taller than her but they weigh almost the same. I have to intervene regularly. I have not had to do this before, so it is a new experience.
I understand your concern, but that is the best solution for when I am not home until they are about 10 months old. When rough housing, the dogs can get hurt. They love their safe space in the crates. They are now 16 months old and I keep the crates in my office. I do not leave them in the crates anymore when I am not home because it is not necessary. Yet, they regularly stay in the crates with the door open of their own accord. The crates are a safe place for them. Since I intend to show them in agility, I can not do it unless they have a safe place to be while at a show. They love their crates and are never confined in them for very long.
My collies' birthday is March 9. Is there any chance they are related? About a month ago I was at a dog park and saw a collie and it turned out to be my collies' sibling. Small world. I got my collies from Northwest Collies.
Since we are beginners, I am making it easier for them. I will make it more difficult as we move forward. I think the male is watching my every move, so it is hard to say whether his nose finds it or he knows because of watching me. In the beginning, I need to make it easy to keep their interest but we will make it harder as we move along. I think the male is going to excel at this.
This is Regis, Linda traveling now so I'll take a shot at an answer. Depend on how dirty they get. these two love to run around in the yard, which in Washington state is wet most of the winter months. Hence they get muddy often. we have found the best way is the let the mud/wet dirt dry then just brush out. of course a bath once a month is needed to ensure a good cleaning. Brushing is done once a week to "thin" out the coat. I'll have Linda add or tell me am wrong!
No real need to bathe a collie. Just keep him/her well brushed and that will do it. We have had four rough collies over a 40-year span. None have ever been bathed - just brush them several times a week.
This is Linda from Landrtravels. We just got back from our trip and the collies got filthy regularly because it was wet and muddy often. Once they dried, they dropped all their dirt and looked fine. I gave them a good brushing when I got home and they look beautiful. I bathe them occasionally, because then they really look good.
@@landrtravels6444 oh, thank you for the information 💐 We are from Italy / Milan and next year or so we will be searching for a good and trustworthy breeder here. Your collies are so beautiful. Thank you again and have a nice day.
