Hello, my name isKerry I live in Massachusetts and I am currently working my third dog, a female smooth coated collie from freedom. I have loved all three of my dogs. However if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be my second one, my mail smooth coated collie named zephyr. His name means gentle wind and boy did that name suits him perfectly. What I loved most about him was how well we fit and worked together. We were like a smooth well oiled machine or like a ballet in each new each other‘s moves before we made them and I hardly ever had to correct him in the 10 years I worked him. . I was spoiled.
He had the best disposition, people said he was a kind animal with a beautiful soul and I really believe that this is true. He cross the rainbow bridge in November and there has not been a day that has gone by since that I have not missed him terribly.
