Skidboot- trained dog, family pet, does pet tricks, rodeo dog, and cow dog is one of the smartest animals on the planet. Part Blue Heeler and part ham, he has been on Leno, Letterman, Oprah, Animal Planet and won just about every award for a performing dog. His friend David Hartwig remembers the long career of his best buddy, Skidboot through archive videos, photos, interviews and tall tales. Now retired after being kicked in the head by a horse, Skidboot relaxes on David's ranch in Quinlin, Texas and enjoys walks, sleeping under the trees and sometimes likes to watch TV.

He is one awesome dog and what a relationship they have...we should be so lucky to bond with and earn the respect of our dogs like he has.

I started downloading this video at 12:30pm, it is now 3:26 and it still hasn't completely downloaded, probably 2/3.
That's dial up for you.
But a company called Onewire has contacted us and say they can give us broadband, has anyone heard of them.
I have been told that our area is too antiquated to upgrade.
Of what I saw of the clip he is one terrific canine a true one out of the box, am waiting to see it all.
Thanks for posting him.
