Stalking Angus

Scout crouches about to pounch and sideswipe Angus. This is  a stereotypical border collie stance -  head  lower than the line of the body so the neck is curved down low.  She stares her target down,  - a long fixed stare that never waivers like predator stalking prey.    Her tail hangs low (usually straight down) and sometimes has a hook at the end of the tail making it hang like a letter "J".  The tail is kept low as to not scare and distract.  Then she pounches into action - runs full speed and nips Angus's butt before even knows what hit him.  All in a day's play.
