To the park and around the block... Anywhere really...he loves going walking with me

Best Tricks:
If i tell him to go and get his giant tennis ball...even if he doesn't know where it is...he will find it and roll it back to me with his nose. I taught him to weave in and out and jump over logs on command. Also to sit at every street before crossing.

Arrival Story:
I really wanted a dog of my own. And after quite some time of the passing of my Australian Silky Terrier 'Nipper' I decided to save up for a larger breed of dog. I love all animals. At the time i had 4 cats, fish, mice and birds under my roof and no dog to keep me company when i go walking lol. I worked so hard and got in all the extra hours before scanning the Trading Post for an ad for a breed of dog i might be interested in purchasing. For quite some time i did tests to determine what dog would suit me...My searches were narrowed down to Golden Retrievers, Maltese, Labradores and even Poodles... None of these breeds really suited my interest. I settled for a Border Collie. At the time, Toby was 10 weeks old. The last left of his litter. The breeder drove out to Sydney-Sefton back at my old address. She was from Wallacia. I was informed that Toby was pure bred Border Collie and it stated this on his Certificate. I soon came to realise that Toby was infact Border Collie X Kelpie. It wasn't a huge issue with me. I loved him all the much. I did have plans to place him in the Sydney Royal Easter Show, but i believe they only offer places for purebreds. He is one of the smartest dogs i have ever come across. The first time i took him for i walk, i managed to train him to sit on command at every single road. I would never trade Toby for the world. He is my best friend :P

Bio:
The best thing about Toby would have to be the fact that i can talk to him like a human being and not like he's a dog and im the owner. I can call for him when he is way down the backyard and he will rush to my side and sit right at my feet. Toby and i have a special bond. One of which he won't share as deeply with anyone else. He'd be the perfect husband if he were human :P LOL
