Border Collie

Well, what can I say my dog is the most insane, maddest, frustrating dog in the world, but I love him sooo much! Just to let you know before buying any dog you should be fully aware of the commitment you are making, it will be hard if you have a young family and a dog or puppy, making sure it isn't on its own for too long, etc. It isn't anything to take likely, so please take this into consideration before buying or rescuing one as they are not always the easiet, which is why so many end up in RSPCA and other likes. I bought my border collie as a pup and to be honest it is one of the best things I have ever done. Border collies in general are well ...  Read the complete review

We have three collies. A bitch, Beth, who is six years old and two puppies from here litter she had back in October 2007. A dog, Jake, and a bitch, Tess. This breed is not for anyone who is not energetic and is not willing to give up some time each day to giving them the attention they need. Not necessarily walking for miles but give them the mental stimulation they need. The best method we found to fulfil this is training. We got Beth at twelve weeks old and a week later got a golden Labrador, so Beth was pack leader from the start. In training Beth wasn't up for being put in her place. Same applied to Tess. Being dominated wasn't enjoyed one bit. But ...  Read the complete review

I am not a huge dog lover by heart. I dont like it when they come near me, jump up at me, slober all over me and scratch me, and god forbid get my things dirty!! However, I was bought up with a Border Collie which I loved very much and therefore out of all the dogs I have ever heard about or come across, this is by far my favorite. Border collies, are slender, with medium legnth hair covering their body and ears. They are a mixture of black and white. Their ears are perky and upright and they have a very alert look to their face. They are medium sized dogs. Their temporament and personality are very particular. They are also known as sheep dogs as ...  Read the complete review

Not all collie dogs are the same, their personality and temperament can differ depending on the way they are handled / reared. We got our Boarder collie from a local farm, as a pup about 3 years ago. Boarder Collies are a very intelligent dog. We found them to have a very high toy drive which has made training of him very easy. I would even go so far as to say he almost trained himself. These dogs are full of energy and require a lot of exercise. I would not recommend these dogs if you do not have the time or willingness to dedicate to them. They do make an excellent companion and become a valued member of the family. I have had several dogs ...  Read the complete review

BORDER COLLIES A Border collie is a type of dog, which very often rounds up sheep for farmers. They are extremely intelligent and are the most faithful dog I have ever come across. They have a fairly quiet nature, when resting, but are transformed into a tireless ball of energy when outside. They have a beautiful wavy haired coat and have a very soft and friendly face, usually brown eyes. You can buy from breeders around the country, which you can find on the web. The cost varies, £800 - 1,000, but well worth the money for the pleasure and fun you get from them! I was lucky enough to own one some years ago; my husband got her from a sanctuary ...  Read the complete review
