Floyd is my second Border collie, his official name is Glen and he is born the 9th of February 2011 out of Jim (Serge van der Zweep) and Tess (Joke Jans). When I was going to choose a puppy out of this litter, I was determined not to pick the one with the blue eye. I was actually interested in the two mottled ones. But when I looked at the puppies, I didn't like their characters so much as I wished so I decided to look at the other 2 puppies. The one with the blue eye was very social to people and other dogs, very playful and not scared, and so I chose him after all!

Floyd 10 weeks old:

Floyd is a very sweet boy, always in for a cuddle but he is also very eager to play with balls and frisbees, and actually whatever you throw away he will fetch it for you! He also likes to climb into the pool and he could swim when he was 3,5 months old:

 
 Floyd 5 months old, waiting for the ball:

Floyd has been to sheep now and then, and we're starting to train more serious now. He shows nice balance and good pacing, and he's a good listener and takes his lie down very well!

In these pictures he's wearing a T-shirt because of a wound on his side, to prevent him of licking or biting it. He got it from wriggling himself through a tiny fence hole...
