More: We got Ziva when she was seven weeks old. She was named after a favorite TV character. We knew Border collies were supposedly the smartest breed. She is incredibly smart. We'd had her a few weeks and my husband researched her name. It means "brilliance" in Hebrew. Ziva enjoys hiking in the woods in the mountains of SW Colorado, flyfishing trips, snowshoe adventures, Nordic skiing, traveling to beaches, and playing frisbee in all of those locations. She is very well behaved, is affectionate, and loves people. She is a dream dog!
