Check out this video called ‘The Subtleties of Miss Maisie’ who is apparently one cool cucumber when it comes to dropping hints about what she wants!  Does your Border Collie like to drop hints as well? How does your BC tell you when she’s hungry, wants a tickle or is looking to go out?  Let us know in the comments below! 🙂

Meet Jones! A Modern Day Working Border Collie!

by | Articles, Intros & Hellos

Gareth Evans would like you to meet ‘Jones’, a seven year old border collie from the small fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall.  If he looks familiar, it may be because you have seen his images before on various dog related products, websites, calendars, posters and greetings cards, as Jones is a model in the K-9 world!  To see more of Gareth & Jones’ work, check out: http://www.pawprintsdogphotography.com/

 

From a young age it was clear that he quite enjoyed having his photograph taken and appeared to pose for the camera at any given opportunity, proving an ideal model for his human ‘Gareth’ to take photographs for competitions not only on dog related sites but also on a wider scale to far larger audiences.
This exposure created tremendous interest with several individuals and companies suggesting that his photos would sell on the open market, and so his modelling career began!
Obviously any dog that works in this field has to have obtained a certain level of obedience and be able to follow instructions. Jones undertook this training at a basic level as a puppy before going on to enjoy a couple of years competing reasonably successfully in the junior classes.

Gareth believes this training has helped Jones become such an easy model to work with in front of the camera, often having to show great patience and hold a pose whilst the photographer is waiting for the correct light or the water to settle around him for a clear, sharp reflection shot, but stresses that it is important that it remains a fun activity for Jones to do, always being rewarded with a ball game or treat during and after each session. Of course there’s plenty of perks too, whilst working on a shoot for a brand of specialist doggy ice cream recently, Jones did rather well for cool treats on a hot Summers day!

Jones now appears on a range of his own Border Collie products including mugs, cards and posters, with photographs of him selling worldwide.

As I’m sure Jones would tell you himself if he could ‘it’s got to be an easier way of making a living than herding sheep up at ridiculous times in the morning on a cold winters day!’
