Cute!
I'm sure you will get suggestions for his name. How about dammit, get out of there, or stop that?
My cousin is heavily involved in Aussies. His wife was heavily involved in writing the breed standards. He is a trainer, shower, judge, and provider of sheep for trials. Well known among those involved in herding.
Fascinating animals.
He has videos at his site. One free. Worth a look.

You're giving naming suggestions to a guy who named a female dog WALTER!!!! I shudder to think what he's going to call this one.

Walter and Mitty!!!! I love it.
Our daughters border collie has two different color eyes too, one very light blue and the other green. Sure looks different. I've never heard of people with this 'feature'.
Love it when a Dog gets a new and very good home!
Of course I just love Dogs in general. I can not imagine life without at least one.

I was a bit like you when we got our youngest one several years ago. I'd always house trained our dogs in a matter of days but Gypsy, our lab cross, just never seemed to get it. Then I realized that she was entirely over thinking the problem. Her favorite place to go was in the master bathroom and it struck me that is where she goes because that is where she knows that I go so it had to be OK for her to go there too ... right? Once I figured that out, it was simple. I kept her on a long training leash in the house and she was always with me, except when I went to the bathroom. As soon as she showed signs of needing to go, we went outside. That was it. She finally put two and two together and never a problem since.
As I said, sometimes really smart dogs over think the problem.
I walked outside and pee'd off the edge of the patio. I feel better
Bob - Got to thinking about this when I found myself doing it yesterday.
Consider teaching the dog hand signals. This breed seems to recognize them easily.
Dog is killing me.Thinking of you Bob...
Why not just leave him outside most of the day? Might get the hang of doing his business out there and marking his territory.
