Border Collies
Border Collies are herding dogs by nature and therefore will not harm geese. Their natural instinct is to herd, not harm the flock. Border Collies use a technique called “eye” wherein they crouch down and stare intensely at the geese. The Border Collie is the most effective method in keeping geese out of areas where the geese are a problem.
Border Collies are ranked number one in intelligence for all dog breeds. They have the reasoning and problem-solving ability of a two- to four-year-old child. Border Collies are agile, making them effortlessly work their way through brush, briars and any other obstacles that would tire a different breed of dog.
Border Collies are protectors and will lay down their life for their master. Border Collies have a deep devotion not only to their master, but to hard work as well. They have a natural desire to be working constantly, and a working Border Collie is a happy Border Collie. If these dogs are not given a job, they will find one on their own.
Kasey’s Story
Kasey is our Border Collie whose background includes herding cattle for her previous handler. She is fast, obedient and a good swimmer. She has a very keen “eye”, which means she stares down the geese so intently that the geese don’t have to think twice to vacate the property. Kasey closely resembles the Arctic Fox with her small frame, bushy tail and fox-like face. The Arctic Fox is a natural predator of the Canada goose. Geese take Kasey very seriously. Kasey is a very hard worker, but don’t let that fool you. She is a very sweet, playful girl when not working.
