LITERALLY :yikes: but border collies arn't crazy all day :p

We got a pup on Saturday and things are going ok. The thing is though, he wants to bite everything rather than his toys and I'm scared he's going to hurth his mouth and I don't know how I can stop him. He hates his collar, we put it on on Saturday night and even now he's still itching at it...

Jess doesn't like it so now we have to switch. She won't eat it at all, and yeah, she's fine, not ill or anything, just doesn't like it. We gave it a good try but I can't keep her on it much longer. So now I don't know what to feed. Someone on a BARF forum recommended Wafcol, so we might try...

Had a quick look at the ingredients and they LOOKED good, but I'm no excpert on this thing. Much cheaper than the Burns she's currently on, and ingredients looked better as well. http://www.naturesmenu.co.uk/ They sell the dry stuff in 3kg bags. Traditional - Ingredients...

I'd just like to say thanks to all those who advised me to get the book "How to raise a puppy you can live with". It came through today and now I'm wondering how I ever lived without it! hehe!

Jess' shedding is getting beyond a joke. I'm suprised she's not bald! It's all year round and you literally strok eher nad have a hand filled with hair. Where ever she lays down the hairs can be seen. She's been banned from my bed because the hairs left behind on the sheet clog up the washing...

This afternoon we visited the breeder again. Sadly, the pup we planned to get, a black and white girl called Skye, passed away on Wednesday night. As you can imagine, we were all devestated having vistied her several times and expecting to bring her home in a couple of weeks. Strangely, Skye's...

Heya all I was just wondering if there is an advised age to get a puppy microchipped. Would it be best to do it as soon as possible or is there a certain age the pup has to be? Thanks!

Well with a new arrival on the way I was just wondering which books would be considered worth getting, as I'm going to go on an Amazon shopping spree! I'm getting How to Raise a Puppy you Can Live With and I also heard The Perfect Puppy : How to Raise a Well-Behaved Dog was good. I'm interested...

We are getting a border collie pup in about 4 weeks, and I'm feeling a bit guilty. As I'm currently still at school, the pup may have to spend alot of the time in her crate and I'm not sure if that's mean. I mean, there will be someone at home, my dad works from home and can take her out for...

Hiya Well after a long wait and a lot of research we think we have found the perfect pup for us. After speaking to the breeders, who were so nice and really friendly we have organised to go over on Wednesday, when we will be able to see the pup and meet the mum and hopefully the dad. As they...

Hiya Well after speaking to a couple of breeders and doing a lot of research, we decided a Border Collie would fit into our family quite well. One of the fantastic breeders we spoke to advised us of a litter that was due in a few weeks that she thought could suit our names. So I spoke to the...

Heya Well we are getting a border collie puppy around December 5th, and I need to make up some sort of routine, one for when I am home all day, such as weekends, and one were I am at school from around 8 till around half past 3. He will be crate trained and at first fed three times a day...

Heya Well I've had a look around and these are the only two dogs I can get hold of. Which of these is better? The only other option some people have said is good is James Wellbeloved and I can get hold of that. Thanks for nay help, anything has to b better than the pedigree rubbish she is...

Heya On my other post, I'm deciding which dry food to feed my dog Jess, but I also want to supplement with a raw bone maybe once a week. Is this ok to do? If so, which type of bones should I look out for and were will I be able to get one? Thanks for any help!

Heya Well we are planning to get an ESS, but we have absolutly no idea of what his grooming requirments will be. What sort of equipment will he need and how often will he have to go to the groomers? Thanks for any help!

so I fed it. Our dog is a picky eater, and won't just eat a dry meal. I suppose I could try it out, but I'm worried she will be unhappy. She loves eating the meat so much, but know she is getting a bit older (she's eight) I'm relaly not happy with her being on a bad quality food. Does anyone...

Heya Well I'm looking into getting a dog sometime soon, and I'm still a little unsure of the breed that is right for me. I want something medium sized, pretty intelligent, able to do either agility or obedience, or some sort of activity, if you know what I mean! I have a dog, a lab x Border...

Heya Well we are planning on getting an English Springer Spaniel Puppy sometime soon, but after reading alot of posts and people who have had "puppy blues" I'm terrified I will do something wrong while we are raising the puppy. After getting all my pets except for my dog, I had serious blues...
