While the majority of the stories written for the Beaumont Collies I own are within a mention of a kennel, I imagine the following (1-7) would apply if there was mention of a kennel:

Despite the fact that the majority of the collies residing in the kennel deriving their names from the minor gods and goddesses of Greek mythology, the names themselves delegated based upon the manner in which the Beaumont Collies were found as former strays, the kennel is housed within the United States in 1937: Strasburg, Colorado. By consequence of both the various unoccupied portions sporadically drawn upon the town of Strasburg, on par with the fact that the owner had inherited the property from their grandfather, the kennel is structured atop yards of open plains - the majority of which encompassed by a firm metal and oakwood fence, for the sake of training and as a means of accommodating the needs that may arise from the population of collies and livestock of cattle and sheep. The various buildings upon the property are composed of firm stone and tilted wooden pillars that were hand built by the ancestors of the owner, often requiring mending by consequence. There are currently four collies within the kennel.

A typical day, by the notion of compliance and no issues between the Beaumont Collies nor staff, takes root in the owner waking at 5:27 AM - subsequently guiding the Collies to the coarse field perched directly beside the kennel for the reason of a restroom break, and feeding the Collies, prior to the roughly five descendants of the owner arriving for their respective shifts at 7:40-8:00 AM. The Collies are seperated into three groups based upon what the descendants specialize in for in the Title Program. The first training session for Comformation begins at roughly 9:00 AM and ceases at 9:30 AM, the first training session for Herding begins at roughly 9:40 AM and ceases at 10:10 AM, and the first training session for Agility begins at roughly 10:20 AM and ceases at 10:50 AM. The descendants allow a 60 minute break for the Collies before the second training sessions for Conformation, Herding, and Agility begin. At around 2:45 PM, the descendants allow for a second restroom break to occur, with the final feeding for the Collies residing at 3:26 PM. The descendants return to their respective homes nearby at 4:40-5:00 PM.

Newcomers, whether in terms of distant relatives or those visiting the kennel out of interest/as a tour of the establishment, are often intrigued by the sheer craftsmanship the owner's ancestors toiled to construct the kennel itself - each and every fathomable stone and wooden pillar bound by deft hands of dedication and a desire for safety, as the kennel once served as a home before it was altered by the current owner of the territory - in addition to the various intricate floral and medieval animal designs etched into the interior walls. In regards to newcomers of the Collie varation, they derive their interest from the sheer warmth the descendants bestow upon them, especially given the fact that the majority of them are strays and/or were reared in less than ideal environments under a lack thereof in warmth. Thus, newcomers of the human experience are enamored by the building whilst newcomers of the Collie experience are enamored by the people.

For the sake of story purposes and non-literal, the owner enforces the regulations for training and the descendants enacts such via the means of "positive reinforcement", direct interactions with the livestock of the territory, and gravel racing.
Positive reinforcement, within the confines of psychology, is a concept of conditioning that involves the addition of positive reward after a desirable behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again - a concept that can be enforced for both humans and other mammals capable of processing the difference between positive and negative consequences. Positive reinforcement is most prominently displayed by the manner in which the descendants that train for Conformation utilize.
Direct interactions with the livestock, the livestock in question serving as the various cattle and sheep that were reared by ancestors prior to the owners obtainment of the property, takes root in positive reinforcement within the first few sessions as to ensure the path of least resistance for later sessions in which the collie is delegated with the task of gathering the cattle and sheep into a specific area or in a specific manner. Such is practiced with the knowledge of potent incidents occurring, and subsequently, a way to cease the incidents once occured.
Gravel racing are operated in a manner much like how Greyhound racing is operated: Using an artificial lure that travels ahead of the Collies to persuade them into chasing it. As conformation isn't required for agility, the descendants responsible for the training induce a desire for the artificial lure into the Collies before they meet the gravel track.

Response: Phorcys is the Collie I favor, solely for the fact that I was under the assumption a few of the other entries would hold precedence over my own. Thus, the fact that I obtained Phorcys was one of which served as a pleasant surprise. Nevertheless, I absolutely adore the accessories he harbors, alongside the juxtaposition of the coat to the eyes.

Response: While I am not entirely new to this community, I am not prone to interacting with other members by consequence of my consistently busy schedule. Therefore, I joined the community out of an admiration for the coats of the Beaumont collies, a desire to own a few gorgeous design, and the fact that most often the adopts meet my time limitations.
