This is Bella, my latest foster dog. She is a 1 year old border collie mix. She is all border collie in personality....curious, playful, and smart. She is smart enough to ignore any command I give her. She is truly a blank slate. My friend, Joan Smith, president of IDAWG, says Bella is her kind of dog. Joan thinks she has all the cool border collie traits and has potential in agility and herding and all that border collie stuff. It will be fun watching her blossom.
