Likes: Shayne loves food more than anything. She also loves long car rides and travelling around the east coast
Pet-Peeves: Shayne is not particularly fond of bossy girl dogs.
Favorite Toy: She LOVES to destroy balls of all types--tennis balls (pulls all of the fuzz off then breaks them), basketballs-soccer balls-the jolly ball (deflates/rips and chews on carcas) ! But she LOVES to play frisbee/disc!
Favorite Food: Umm... what isn't her favorite food?! She is a big fan of grilled chicken and slightly burned hotdogs, though she also really likes carrots and bananas. While she likes people food, she will work for plain-ol' kibble.
Favorite Walk: Hiking in the woods is where she loves to "walk"--it means she doesn't have to be in a nice heel position!
Best Tricks: She is learning k9 frisbee and she can do flips and vaults and we are working on a backstall! She really likes to "take a bow".
Arrival Story: Shayne was a rescue from the humane society. She was starved and abused by her former owner. I saw her at the shelter--absolutely terrified and i insisted on playing with her. The people working at the shelter said that she had some food aggression problems and that she was super timid. I sat and wait for her to come to me in the little room and eventually she trusted me enough to let me say hi. At the end of my time with her she ended up in my lap and i knew she would be mine. I waited the 4 days so she could be spayed and then took her home!
Bio: Shayne is a bossy--rough 'n' tumble border collie! But for all of her seeming confidence she is still working on her fear of people. Shayne is starting agility and is beginning to compete in K9 disc events! She is a non-stop pup who likes the company of most everyone once she gets over her initial apprehension.
Shayne is also the founding dog of Steel City Disc Dogs--a group of frisbee enthusiasts....or people just wanting another great game to play with their pups! Shayne has been a great ambassador for the group! If you are in the W. PA area and have a pup who has some energy to burn drop me a line and i'll keep you up to date on seminars/practices/playdays throughout the summer!

The Last Forum I Posted In: Need advice on crate barking before tonight
Early this morning/late last night my human mom was extremely excited, jumping around and partying with her friend. I wasn't sure what was going on, but they kept repeating "he did it! No, we did it!"
I hear that a great man has been elected president, whatever that means. I hear there is hope now, for a promising future. I hear there is pride again for being an American. I hear there is rejoicing in the streets, by all colors. I hear there is reason to believe we can achieve true equality.
I am not sure what all of this means, but my tail is wagging along with the excitement of my mom. Though i do here there is an adoptive puppy in the future of President Obama!!!!!!!
Change has come to America!!!
An awesome day has been clouded over by the writing of discrimination into the california constitution. Only in America can the same people vote in a racially diverse president only to also write discrimination INTO the constitution on the same day. UGH....
Shayne's Fourth Frisbee competition--4th place freestyle
On sunday shayne competed in her fourth frisbee competition but her very FIRST freestyle competition down in NJ.
I have to say she totally ROCKED freestyle... in her first competition she scored a raw 67 points (no D/A added in). I was SOOO proud of her! She did a really fantastic job. We placed fourth in that freestyle raw score... She had two really awful toss/fetch rounds...but hey we are going to keep working on it... i got some good throwing tips... i'm gonna take a bunch of discs down to our feild and jsut do lots and lots of repetitions to hopefully get some muscle memory on good throwing techniques.
Shayne's lack of catching is perplexing...even to two world class competitors who were helping me out... she can make all these great catches in freestyle (long long throws) but when it comes to D/A she gets under the discs and pops them up... it's a bit frustrating but we are going to work on it!!!
We had a great time and got lots of great compliment from some very seasoned teams on our freestyle round so that was really quite awesome!
It was 97 degrees, sunny and humid (heat index of 105!!)--but we were out playing frisbee! Shayne was in her third competition and came in third place in the novice division! Conditions weren't great but Shayne pulled through nicely!
Our first round was not too great but we came back strong in the second round and pulled off well.
We also got to meet fellow Dogster' Sasha and her mom for the first time--it was a good time!
