Hello!
I'm new to the board, my name's Kelly. I'm from PA & I have 2 Border Collies; Riley and Rebel. Riley is my black tri color female, and Rebel is my red merle male. They're both currently 2 years old but will be turning 3 this year. Riley will turn 3 in May, and Rebel in September.
 
here's a bit of infor about each of them...
Rebel, Rebel, Rebel. Boy oh boy, where to start? lol, this dog is definitely my crazy, goofy, cuddly dog. He absolutely ADORES his frisbee and will pick it out over any other toy. He jumps about 5 feet in the air doing various twists and spins while catching it. Other things he loves to do are RUN... and swim. We have an above ground pool and its about 5 ft. tall. Well, we found out the hard way that there is no keeping him out when he wants to go in. When someone's in the ;pool, he will circle around until the right moment... that of which he will spring up and jump right into the pool. Thankfully he only does it when there are people in the pool. He has such a personality that's for sure, and he has soooo many facial expressions. He is also my Velcro Dog, and he sticks to me like glue. Something you may not have noticed from his pictures... is that his eyes have somewhat of a 'marbled' look to them being that they are both blue with a goldish color [one eye is mostly blue with a sliver of gold, the other gold with a sliver of blue]
 
Now for Riley. Riley is definitely the more serious out of the 2 of them and she usually has this look of "What the HECK are you doing??" while watching Rebel scurry around sometimes. She is also quite a bit more independent and doesn't stick to me like glue as Rebel does. Riley is very intense and will stare down just about anything she wants. She also loves frisbees, but loves her tennis balls equally. Riley is quite the sneaky girl, too and will always try to grab Rebels toys or bones right from under his nose when he's not looking. She isn't at all thrilled with the idea of swimming, but she does LOVE to run. Unlike Rebel, Riley doesn't jump in the air to catch the frisbee... she waits until its within reaching distance and then leaps straight out and grabs it. Riley and I also compete in agility and she is quite the star (maybe I'm a bit biased ;] ) lol


edit; I've tried adding pictures but its not working... help?
