It breaks my heart when I look through the rescue pages and see countless border collies in rescue. Not wanted for one reason or another but mainly because many owners do not realise what hard work you might have to put into a collie and all they see is the lovely little fluff ball at 8 weeks old, looking more like a teddy bear than a dog and then by 6 months old, they start to be returned back to rescues, as I didnt expect the dog to be so active... I am an owner of 6 Border Collies, all different personalities, and here I will tell you about a few of them and the work that we put into them.. I would like people to know that the Border Collie is a working ...  Read the complete review

4 years ago I was content, married, 3 kids, a cat, four fish and a steady job that paid the mortgage. I’d made my contribution to the population, fostered a fat tabby and brought four goldfish for the amusement of the kids that would also double as cat food if we fell upon hard times. Life just couldn’t have been better. *** The Plot *** Arriving home one evening from a hard days work, I was met at the door by the whole family, now to me that’s a sure sign something is not quite right. The usual is one or two smiling faces at the door but all of them beaming at me, they wanted something. My shoulders broad, I marched on up the driveway, I didn’t ...  Read the complete review

Life for Sarah_Louise has been pretty hectic lately, what with moving to a completely new part of the country for a start. My Internet addiction has consequently taken another hit. However, as I recently decided to give Dooyoo one last try, I thought I'd pop this review over here too. As many of you know, I'm a huge animal lover. I am by far the biggest animal lover I've ever come across in fact. Isn't it strange that, as an animal lover, the vast majority of my friends are those that just don't see the fascination? Or indeed those who can't stand the thought of sharing their homes with an animal! Sure, I adore horses. I've been a keen horse rider ...  Read the complete review

When you mention a border collie most people think of sheepdogs and it's true that the first collies I handled were working dogs on a farm. I loved them and fell in love with the breed. They were all individuals and each had their own little quirks but I found them to be easy to train in some respects and difficult in others. Now that I have my own border collie I notice the same traits. Sasha is a wonderful dog. She's friendly and willing to work at any time of night or day. She gets on well with other dogs and is endlessly patient with our collie cross puppy. She's very easy to train if you want her learn something new. She works well in rally ...  Read the complete review
