Interests and achievements

Main Hobby: Pet dog at my home address, an interest that I pursue very seriously.
School Walking to heel, coming when called, coming when whistled, sitting, staying, waiting, extended staying, lying-down, jumping up, pushing open doors, using door handle to open doors, wriggling on command, going to bed when told, getting in car when asked, lying under car when worried.
Hobbies Walking, swimming, mountain climbing, being patted, eating, playing with balls, being patted, staring (sheep a speciality), pointing, digging, being patted, retrieving, being patted, chewing sticks, chasing (rabbits, cats, birds- chickens and waterfowl a speciality), rescuing stones from mountain pools in Scotland, tracking and rolling in interesting smells.
Miscellany I have bagged several Munros, including Ben Nevis and various parts of the Cuillin on Skye. I bark very quietly in my sleep when I'm very tired and dream about chasing rabbits. No driving licence or (pet) passport.
Health No fleas (just some itchy patches), furry ears, occasional diarrhoea from unusual culinary experiments (usually long dead animals) and minor ailments related to trying to dig rabbits out of their burrows. I am fully vaccinated and wormed (not my fault).
Note that, although genetically qualified to herd sheep and generally help farmers, I dropped out of sheepdog training after 12 months, and am not interested in pursuing that career again. If you must know, the sheep were too frightening. I am also loud-bang-o-phobic.
Favourite Quote "Even a terrier could administrate a Linux system, but it takes a border collie to do it right." Cap Orr, 2003
