Hi All,

I know this is a farm collie list (and I do have three of them) but I need some help with a GSD. As some of you may remember, I had a very large GSD named Milano. He's not too bright but a good dog. I found a nice home for him with a family that lives near by. Apparently, he is pooping in the house on a regular basis. They will take him out for a walk and he'll poop and then they bring him in and five minutes later, he'll poop in the house.  He even will poop in his crate (Strange because he didn't do that before). When we had him, he lived outside. I have asked them what they are feeding him and when, I will let you know what they say.

Anyone got any tried and true ideas for an older (2 years old) dog?

Thank you all so very much.

On the Farm Collies, Scarlett, currently 9 ½ months old, has really come into herself since we found a home for the GSD. She is guarding people from the maurading geese and is helping round up the chickens in the evening. She's just a bit aggressive with the chickens but is easily called back and then she'll "stalk" them until they go into the barn. She has learned to circle back and forth behind them to keep them all in a bunch.  She has alerted us to loose horses (will wake up from a sound sleep and start barking - must be ESP!) and has learned where everybody belongs. She breaks up cat fights and has learned all our property boundaries. Such a smart dog!

Thanks!
