We had d'r March iene as…
This is the story of Jan Wiebe Veenbaas, a striking man with much wisdom and humor and above all a good friend. Forever in our hearts.
In 1981 I am on holiday in Ireland and England have been. Here I saw how farmers their cows home inflicted. We have also seen some sheep floats competitions. A great atmosphere that.
I was very impressed with this border collies and decided on the way back there is a note to take home to use in my dairy cows.
This was our first border called Duc, they gave me a lot of work adopted by the cows, but really listening to commands from Ho me but she went her own way.
After being on 16 age died, I decided to purchase another border. Meanwhile there were everywhere collies for sale and I bought one in Elim near Hoogeveen. It has a border with a good posture.
Through my neighbor, that sheep trader and also a border had I heard of the Border Collie Club of Dick van Dijk in Zwolle. My second dog (born 14-10-1997), the Floyne heette, I wanted to better educate and better to listen as my first dog, Therefore I went almost every Sunday morning with a neighbor to the training in Zwolle.
I did notice that herding is not the same as cows from pasture retrieve, by the week when the cows did Floyne not always the same as what I had tried to teach him to Sunday.
At one point Dick said if you want the dog calmer you with whistles work; I bought a whistle but a variety show, I could not get; let alone my dog still understand what could. Henceforth but louder shout, when the dog is at a distance.
After a few years you have practiced at the club I decided to stop the workout.
Floyne is not a competition dog become, I think this is more to the boss when the dog.
I have a lot of fun and convenience of my border Floyne. Mutual matches is always great fun, Floyne when it passed to the sense he walks the trail just two or three times.
Before Dick in December 2007 asked me to join with The Old Dogs Trail has Floyne in less than three years and seen a sheep on the farm, he was also unnecessary. For the conscious game I've practiced a few times and what surprised me the dog was not forgotten and did just as years before. However, his condition has improved since December and Floyne brightens again completely when he sees sheep ;me again what has decide to re-train him to go.
The club has grown rapidly since the early years, but the atmosphere is always relaxed and pleasant remained. How do I turn these pictures?
Well, a friend of my wife was looking for another dog. We advised him to agree to go to Zwolle. Together we have a date and he comes incitement to such a large horn of a camera; what show he's in his spare time amateur photographer and he can make beautiful pictures. Also Dick and Michelle find these photos very successful in Floyne,the sheep and myself and asked me to take them to the site of the Club to send, so so. The photographer now has a different kind of dog purchased.
