Caroline and Kipling

I’ll be brutally honest.  While I adore watching them compete in agility and obedience, I’m not a fan of the Border Collie.  Too many bad experiences, involving teeth in my legs, my arms, my face, and my Sibes.  But there are some amazing individuals within the breed, and pups like this Little really help me appreciate them.  This is Kipling: a working-line Border Collie. He was about 16 weeks at the time of this shoot.  He is SUPER sweet.  He was nervous of people and other dogs at first, but thanks to Caroline’s dedicated hard work, he’s gained a phenomenal amount of confidence, plus great social skills!  Look forward to watching him grow up!  Photos by Leanne Williams
