Owns- Seven Collies Shaffner - usuallj keeps, about three: of his collies at the Uni versity-barns.' However; he breeds his dogs- to • sell at d owns seven collies.. He keeps t vo of his dogs on his farm- near Oak Hall and the others are farmed out in Ohio and. Pennsylvania. The Shaffner. Border Collies are guaranteed to be good herd ers, and’ any puppy ( that Shaffner sells will be replaced by another dog if he can not be trained to work. The Shaffner strain fs especial ly known for the dogs' gentle dis positions, and usually sells for a price- somewhere between-$35-and $5O. The color markings of the collies are the-determining factor in the price asked for each dog. Originated' in Scotland All Shaffner’s dogs are black and-white,,the most popular color combination for Border Collies in the- United l States; Shaffner has been breeding Bor der Collies for over 20 years and first became interested in them when He saw one herding sheep at a dog trial while he was still' living: on. his father’s farm in Ok lahoma. He. explained that the’ dogs originated, in Scotland! and that he started the Carroll Shaffner strain, of Border Collies by buy ing his-dogs there. Offers Training Instruction Shaffner trains the- dogs he keeps to herd animals, and. offers training instruction with all. the puppies He sells. He said that Bor der Collies could' be trained to herd all types of livestock, and that he had- sold-' dogs for use on poultry; turkey and cattle farms. Shaffner said that the instinct of" herding sheep- was bred, into the dogs,'and that the hisses, whis tles, clucks and hand gestures that he uses merely indicate the direction he wants them to take Make* House Pels The dogs- cair. also be taught to cut out: one or more sheep from the rest of the herd. The best time to begin training, the dogs, Shaffner said; is- imme diately- after weaning when, they are about eight, weeks old; A- dog can be trained - in- four months when he is six months old. Shaffner said- that Border Col lies also make fine house pets. However, they are active animals and; are- happiest in. a: home where they have- plenty of opportunity to exercise.
