What
can I say ... it is LEMMING,
Lemming as we
fondly call him came to Cob Kennels in 1999 at the same time that
Rem came to live in the islands and share a life filled with
dogs. The name Lemming came from one of Billie Myers' song,
Coh and Rem's ... lemming
on a cliff
He came from down
south to be shown, a welcome addition to the Herding Group, a gift
from HAROLD GO, a good friend of Coh. From time to time,
Lemming goes inside the ring. Collies are hard to breed in the
tropics. Somehow, the breed could not fully adapt to the
climate and they do get stressed out. We know what happens
when dogs are under stress, don't we? The change in
environment from south to north caused Lemming a year-long of
allergy reactions. For awhile, he looked more like a giant
Chinese Crested. Coping up from one rash to another, we gave
up on taping his ears to properly set it, a perfect example of how
one ruins an otherwise good show prospect. Some dogs are
probably best just for loving ... and Lemming, is definitely that!
Everything
we know of Lassie, those who grew up watching the reruns, it's true
... Lemming is a
living proof and it's not just in the movies! |
