We bought our first collie, Gaelan, in 1995 and I named him. He was *supposed* to be my dog. We bought Kahless a year later and he was supposed to be HIS dog so he named him. So what happens? Gaelan bonds with my husband and the Klingon bonds to me Kahless was anything BUT Klingon-like. Never met a softer, more gentle soul.
Both dogs are gone now We lost Gaelan to cancer in 2003 and Kahless this year.
We do have three more collies: Hamish, Rowan (both litter mates and 3 years old) and Fergus, our new puppy. He's 6 months old.
