'BALANCE'
Border Collie
Aka: Bally Boy, Big Nose, Preppy Boy 

When I decided to get another border collie. I knew I wanted a black and white male.
There was Balance! The only black and white male born in the litter!
I am so glad I got him! He is just an all-around good dog. He is loyal, and loves everyone. He is always ready to work, but could also sleep all day if there was no work to be done. He hates to do anything wrong and gets very upset when other dogs are doing things they shouldn't.
I can always tell when one of the dogs is "into something" , Balance will run and sit right beside me as if to say "I'm right here...it wasn't me"
Balance has starting competing in agility this year..he is doing great!!! Balance is very intense while he is working and enjoys doing everything "full force"!!

Balance’s Accomplishments:
-Featured in commercials
-Winner of the Royal Winter Fairs Canine Musical Freestyle Competition at the age of 10months!
-Chosen to compete in the the 2005 and 2006 Toronto Sportsman Show's "Big Air Dog Show"
-Placed 2nd in the finals both weekends at the Dockdogs competition in Toronto at the National home show 


Bally's Injury

In the Spring of 2007, Balance suffered a major back injury where he "crunched" his spine together. I was told he would never be able to do dog sports again....or even hike in the woods. After deciding to try "alternative methods" of rehab for Balance we found ourselves traveling to Guelph, Burlington, and NOTL multiple times a week for acupuncture, massage, laser therapy, chiropractic care, and a combination of homeopathic and Chinese herbal remedies. December 1st Balance got the OK to hike in the woods, and do some obedience training again. We are both thrilled he is able to spend time doing what he loves best...running!!

Thanks to Dr. Leslie Woodcock, Dr. Lisa Burgess, and Dr. Susanne Langdon for all your help with Balance. We are very grateful to have worked with each of you!

With that said, I am happy to announce the results of Balance's first trial back.
On december 8th he Earned his CDX, 2 High In Trials, and passed the CKC CGN test!!
Way to Go Bally Boy!!
