It's been so long since I've said anything about Apollo, I thought I'd let you all know that he is doing great, and really listens to me now. He has learned quickly; he now knows, "enough" (barking), speak, no, down, sit, stay, come, rollover, down-stay, sit-stay, and lots of other stuff. What I love about him, is you can be talking to someone else, and have him 'downed' (laying down and staying there), and say okay in the middle of a sentence, he gets up! He LISTENS. He's such a great dog.

He's only tied in the last photo because he has to be when we are moving livestock or when we can't keep a close eye on him (the property isn't fenced).
Apollo is a fine looking dog. I am glad to hear that he has settled in and is working out for you. He looks very intelligent and from what you tell us he learns very well. So, I take it he is a good help on the farm. This is good for you and for him. I am very happy it has worked out.
Thanks guys. I have to admit; the word 'gorgeous' fits Apollo, but 'dork' just fits like a key in a lock for him! Or clumsy. he is always, ALWAYS moving. When he's not walking, trotting, pacing, sprinting, he's conked out on the porch or in the grass, lol!
