There were two BC's that came with the farm, the female died 7 years ago.
The male is now 10. Our 'new' female BC is 4 this month and I'm sorry to say
neither has been a working BC. We had chickens for several years that were
allowed to roam all over the place. Both dogs, but mostly the female, tried
to 'herd' the chickens--which usually resulted in chasing a bird that was
running away from the big dog. Now we don't have any poultry (though we're
reconsidering) so they go after deer. That's the long answer.
