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.

DIARY OF A COED
MONDAY: Prof Pomfritt spran'g quiz in English lit
this morning. If Shakespeare didn't write Canterbury
Tales, I’m back in the steam laundry.... Lunch at the
house turkey hash. Question: how can we have turkey
hash when we never had turkey ?... Smoked, a good,
natural Philip Morris after lunch. Yum, yum!... Played
bridge in the afternoon. When game wa3 over, Mildred
Olliphant stabbed me several times with hatpin. Must
learn weak club bid Dinner at house —lamb hash.
Question: how can we have lamb hash when we never
had lamb ? Smoked a Philip Morris after dinner. Good
-0! —no filter, no foolin’!... Chapter meeting at night.
Motion made to abolish capital punishment for pledges.
Motion defeated Smoked some more Philip Morrises.
Natural! Dreamy!... And so to bed.
TUESDAY: Faculty tea. Spilled pot of oolong on
Dean of Women. She very snappish. Offered her a Philip
Morris. Still snappish. Offered skin graft. No help....
Dinner at Kozy Kampus Kafe —l4 hamburgers. But no
dessert. Have to watch waistline And. so to bed.
WEDNESDAY r Got our marks in English lit quiz.
Lucky for me Shakespeare wrote Canterbury Tales! ...
Date with Ralph Feldspar. Purely platonic. Ralph wanted
to talk about love trouble he’s been having with ?Jady
Vanderklung. I said things were bound to improve. Ralph
said he hopes so because the last four times he called
on Mady she dumped vacuum cleaner- bag on him. Smoked
Philip Morris. Yummm! Dinner at house—bread. That’s
all; just bread And so to bed.
THURSDAY: Three packages from home laundry,
cookies, records. So hungry I ate all three.... Quiz in
American history. If James K. Polk didn’t invent cotton
gin, I’m in big trouble Had afternoon date w’ith Erwin
Trull, pre-med. Nice boy but no loot. Took me to see
another appendectomy. Ho-hum! But we had Philip
Morrises afterwards. Goody, goody, gumdrops l... Din
ner at house. Big excitement—Vanessa Strength an
nounced her engagement. While girls flocked around to
congratulate Vanessa, I ate everybody's mackerel....
Then smoked a good, natural. Philip Morris. Divoon!....
And. so to bed.
FRIDAT: Got our marks in American history quiz:.
Was dismayed to learn that James K. Polk did not invent
cotton gin. He wrote Canterbury Tales. . . . Odd! . . .
Lunch at the house bread hash.... Philip Morris after
lunch, Grandy-dandy!... Spent afternoon getting-dressed,
for date tonight with Norman. Twonkey. Norman is tall,
dark,, loaded a perfect doll! Only thing wrong is he
never tells girl where he is going to take her. So T put
on a bathing suit, on top o£ that an evening gown, and
on top of that a snowsuit. Thus 1 was ready for a splash
party, dance, or toboggan slide So what do you think
happened? He entered me in a steeplechase, that’s what!
SATURDAY AND-SUNDAY: Days of rest, play,
quiet, meditation, and aaah! —Philip Morris!... And
so to bed.
