Gimmick

HC OTCH Endzone Gimmick UDX, HXAsd, HXBs

(1/13/95 – 9/27/07)

Gimmick was my third Border Collie and he was (and still holds the record) for being the quirkiest dog I’ve owned. He was an avid television enthusiast. When I was traveling to compete, he would beg me to turn the T.V. on in the hotel room. His favorite channel was Animal Planet. He loved watching any animals – reptiles, mammals, and even bugs. The more active the animal was, the more animated Gimmick would get. He could get quite the workout watching television. He was crazy for a duck toy on wheels that waddled when it was pushed by a stick attached to it. I brought that duck with me when we competed because it was his favorite toy. Gimmick never competed in agility, but he went with me to trials after he retired and my younger dogs competed. He LOVED watching dogs leave the start line and the table. He was a dog I could trust in any situation. A gentle dog that was kind to everyone. He had the most soulful eyes – I could never say no to those eyes.

Gimmick competed in obedience and herding.
