TOP RESCUE DOG: Meet Jethro and Silvie
The story of two rescue dogs!

Jethro is a 2 year old Borgie (mostly Boarder Collie and Corgi), is named after the English comedian, Jethro. This little guy just make us laugh and keeps a simile on our faces constantly.

We rescued Jethro from our local animal shelter in Agoura Hills, California. It was def love at first sight. His first life started in an apartment, now that has all changed, we took Jethro to a sheep herding class for fun and exercise … now he herd’s sheep (instinctively), in his spare time, as one would expect from the Border Collie genes and the entertainer and comedian side , as one would expect from his Corgi genes.  But his primary mission in life is to protect us and sister Silvie, never leaving our sides.

Silvie is a 1 ½ yr old Cordachs (mostly Corgi and Dachshund).  We found her on a Corgi rescue Web site through www.petfinders.com.  Starting her life as an outside dog, with a hunter instinct most likely from her Dachshund side, Silvie is a sweet natured and true love who adores her brother Jethro.

When Silvie is not chasing birds and Jethro is not on boarder patrol in the yard … they can be found playing well together and keeping each other company.  Pet Trainer 911 would cringe since they have the run of the house and pretty much control our lives.

Of course, both breed names are made-up, but who knows they might just catch-on!  We just love ‘em!
