WHO AM I?
I'm BATU Dream Of Ares,
but I prefer being called
BANKSY
I was born in Belgium, but now I live in Poland with my lovely family.
I'm a Border Collie male, and as it befits my race.
I'm really intelligent and cunning.
My daddy is a distinguished shepherd dog and every time
I chase the sheep I prove that I inherited his best skills.
No matter how unruly they are, I always manage.
Even a charging ram cannot make me fail.
Still, I'm very tender and gentle to all living creatures.
I would never ever hurt anyone.
Even my tiny mouse friend Matrix can feel secure with me.
I'm a working dog, I always give 100% of myself and I never give up.
There's nothing impossible for me.
I do everything focused and with great commitment.
Just one word or look of my trainer and I'm ready to go.
I do not work with sheep every day, my love and life goal is to
catch frisbee
​
​
I am a great distance dog, I can easily catch a disc thrown at 60m and further.
I watch it all the time and I run as fast as I can.
When I see it falling down, I'm speeding up.
When it is flying over my head I'm waiting and catching it at the right moment.
My trainer says that I am very independent when working at a distance
and making the right decisions, but when he says something I listen.
​
just FLIP it!
In addition to long distance I also practice freestyle.
Here I can show what kind of athlete I am!
I do not have problems to make a high over my trainer, or do a vault and fly a few meters up. I control my body very well, which is useful in difficult evolutions
I have a lot of proprioception, I can easily jump and stay on the shoulder of a standing person, despite the fact that I am a big dog.
I love to jump and if I could, I would fly!
In my eyes you can see how much I love it!
I trust my coach very much, thanks to which I can do amazing things.
Frisbee is my main sport, but I also train dogdancing and agility.
On the agility track, I give my best and beat it at high speed while listening carefully to the commands.
I love it! No matter what I do, I always give my best!
I can boast very strong, large and elastic muscles,
which is why I run very fast and jump high.
I am very agile and have a lot of body awareness.
I am very exuberant and I can work in all conditions
(strong wind, rain, heat - no problem), as well as various places.
I can work even when a gun is shot near me or firecrackers explode / shooting fireworks.
I don't train for 24h / 7
I'm also a home dog.
Above all, I am a big teddy bear. I love to cuddle and play.
With one look I break the ice and make everyone love me.
I am very sociable, I can easily unload the tense atmosphere
and play with every dog, even a tiny chichuachua!
I really like children, I think with reciprocity.
Apparently I would be a great therapist dog!
In the city I feel like a fish in the water.
Loud cars, trains or sudden shots do not scare me - I ignore them.
I often go to different places where I behave perfectly, I put myself at the feet of my trainer and fall asleep, I can visit restaurants, museums, shopping malls and offices.
I travel a lot - driving a car / bus / train / ship / devil's wheel is a pleasure for me!
I am not afraid of anyone or anything!
I am a very good bodyguard and would give my life defending you.
When they tell me that it is no danger, I greet him joyfully.

After all these impressions I come home and go to bed.
I'm polite and quiet, neighbors often joke that if they did not see me on a walking,
they would not even know that I live next to them.
