Ontario Gordon Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi. I used to be on here about a year ago, but forgot all my log-in details. I'm Gordon and have just moved to London, Ontario from Glasgow, Scotland. I have a 3 year old Border Collie called Clyde. We are just sterting up with herding. I had a couple of lessons from Jullie Hill and Bobby Henderson. I have now found a place just outside London to start up again. He's not as experienced as Julie and Bobby though. Last time I was on I was looking into Geese work, and that is still my plans, now that I am over. It will take a while to get Clyde trained for geese, as had spent years on training him not to chase birds. But by the spring of 2013, I hope things will be ready to get going on starting a business. Hopefully even have another dog too. Anyway I hope everyone has a good New Year and look forward to chatting with you all. Gordon & Clyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia P Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Welcome back Gordon; sorry we couldn't get together when you were here last year. The other person nearby you is Mary Thompson; she trials in USBCHA regularly and has a flock of scottish black face for training (make you feel like you are at home). PM me if you want a contact email Amanda Milliken regularly has Bobby Henderson over for judging and clinics...just keep your eye on the Ontario border collie club website. We might have a trial at Amanda's tomorrow...depending on her fields... Hopefully we'll run into you sometime in the near future Cynthia Palmer (out near Peterborough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontario Gordon Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks, I'll get in touch with Mary and see what training she does. I found a place outside London, where I took Clyde once. It was good to start to get him around the sheep, but I didn't click with the trainer. Maybe I was comparing him to Julie Hill, and the are completely different. So not fare. I don't know if anyone has heard of him. Ron Forbes at Glen Erran Kennels. The mainly deal with Aussies, but have one BC. Let me know if he is know as a good or bad trainer. I hope to meet some of you now, since I am living here now.
