All you need is a Border Collie. He or she can be a mix. I started with one that was a mix, but mostly Border Collie. All I had to do was to show him that I wanted to go after geese. I kept running after them, and he would follow, until one day he jumped off the cart, and went after them on his own. From that day on, all I had to do was say the word, geese, and he was ready to chase. Since him, I have had two more, one at a time. Both trained easily and quickly. You will need to have them fixed, or they will wander on you, as my first one did. The last two I had were trained with a 25' long leash. I would let them run with it on them, but was able to catch them, if they started to wander. Within a few months, they were able to go without the leashes. If they would start to wander, I would tell them I would put the leash on them. They would obey quickly, when I told them that. The first one cost me nothing, because he was from a friend. The last two cost me $300, which included the fixing, and first shots, and they were rescue. The second one was Border Collie-Samoyed. The third one I still have, and he is Border Collie-Black Lab. The trained ones are great, but you do not have to purchase trained ones, because they train so easily. They are quick learners, and will be dedicated to you, as you will be to them!
