I do not differentiate between my dogs when it is about how much I like them, but for me Mary is THE DOG and this will stay this way. She is my first dog, so I guess it is clear for everybody, why she is a bit different. After the death of our collie, we wanted to have an another sheep dog, but not of the "same kind". So we have chosen border collie because of the outlook and not the well known exceptional intelligence. Mary has all the characteristics of a border collie. Whatever we tried out, she showed always interest and performed it well. We decided to stay with agility, but we have tried flyball, herding and frisbee too. She is really devoted, she always fights her way to caressing, enjoys the walks, she likes to be in the middle and she adores agility. I have to say thanks to her for so much! She led me into the world of dogs and she is the reason why I enjoy it so much. She helped me to find my profession and Myself!
