Lovely girls
Thanks!
So far our guy seems very chill on the prey drive, which is good with the cats. (Theyâre being especially dim and constantly get in his way when weâre not in the lounge, so itâs lucky for them that he just wants to stare/sniff at them. Hopefully that continues as he settles in and gets his bearings, as he may be artificially calm (from nerves/being overwhelmed) right now.
He may ignore them as long as they move slowly⌠Kermit doesnât seem to notice the cat in another house when we visit, but this is because the cat is usually still or walking. He also meets a yorkie in the garden, and the yorkie learned to freeze when he doesnât want to be chased.
Also, Kermit seems very different from reactive border collies, which chase cars, children, bikes⌠he ignores them all. He likes to spook birds (I can recall him from that) but itâs impossible to recall him from deer; he will chase them as long as he can see them (this happened once⌠he was wearing a muzzle and came back to me when the deer disappeared in tall grass).
So far heâs seen the cats still and moving (including running madcap across the field) - heâs very interested in seeing what theyâre doing, but makes no move to chase. Iâm pretty impressed that he doesnât react to them outside, as most seem to get used to them inside but all bets are off when outdoors.
Finally got some boys.

Nice to see more colts - congratulations! Especially nice to see Fight For Freedom alive and well. I thought his dam was never going to have a live foal when I owned her. I hope he runs well for you.

Love the name!
Thanks! Eventually Iâll run out of cool-sounding car manufacturers, but so far, so good.
I have a racer named Quantum Leap (after the old show). Itâs a good name!
