I love Border Collies but don't want another as big as my two (23" to shoulder 16-120kg) My old girl is getting on 14yo and going blind and back end going so I don't know how much longer I'll have with her. It would be too tempting to get another female dog that looked like a smaller...

My eldest I got her from a rescue and she threw herself at me literally, she seemed determined she was coming home with me. Not sure what breed she is I was told lab X collie, but she was much slimmer I thought she may have whippet in her. I did one of those DNA tests and results were GSD x...

we've always had dogs from herding and pastoral group. ..intelligent, plenty of energy, fit and a great work ethic. I'm not getting any younger though so if I do get a companion for my collie when my oldest passes away, it will probably be an older rescue, smaller..enough energy to enjoy...

looks like a collie laid in the grass as can't see how long its legs are..lol! ..is it a Cardigan Corgi? We had a Corgi (X Beagle) growing up I'd have liked another but they are a hard to get over here as on endangered (of becoming extinct cos of too few registrations) list. I don't think...

It's interesting you mention your collie as my Border collie only once has he ever growled at a man who stopped to talk to us, despite JJ growling at him the man tried to do it again! He also had a large husky. The bloke had cut us off before when I was trying to get away..(his body language...

yes I used to live on edge of town where there was an high Indian Asian population. At that time I had a young black lab mix and many of them were scared of her. Though when I later moved to a village there were several black labs and dogs with varying degrees of black on them and people were...

If you had to move to a really rough area and wanted a dog for protection to deter someone who may be thinking of trying to mug you..what breed would you go for? I'm in UK so Pitbulls are banned breed anyway just in case anyone was going to suggest those.

Without relaising we've always had dogs from herding and pastoral groups in the family including parents own dogs..GSD, collie, Corgi, 2 collie crosses and a Border Collie. I'd like another corgi or corgi x collie but they aren't easy to find.

I think the dogs position in family/pack has an affect too. Our previous dogs were all only dogs and all had their moments of challenging behaviour in one way or another. My current youngest wasn't the first/most dominant in his litter then came to me at 8 weeks where my eldest dog was...

For a complete novice ..an older rescue would be better and going more on personality and whether its had any training. Not all dogs in rescue are problem dogs some are there cos their owner passed away and they've no one else. That owner might have done a lot of training with the dog. We've...

I don't think I could cope with a toy breed. Smallest we've ever owned was a Corgi cross. He was about same height as Corgi but not as long in the back and not as 'heavy set'. He was a spritely old man until the grand old age of 17. We took him camping and he trekked for miles. If we was...

No they didn't say it was only for a limited time or that they would be returning for him. They gave the impression they were giving the dog to them to keep, as they weren't able to look after him anymore. If they say can you look after my dog or can you keep my dog then its not a stray is...

If someone leaves a puppy/dog with you and basically says 'you can have this dog', etc but you didn't pay for it, is it still yours legally if you got it free? I believe dogs/puppies are usually sold under the 'sale of goods act 1975' or something??? like a 'thing' rather than a 'living...

What breed is she?

I grew up with a Corgi cross and he was a character, but our other dogs have all been bigger..like medium size lab/collie crosses and Border Collie. I thought of downsizing for my last dog and ended up with a Border Collie..lol! If I do have another I definitely need to downsize. I don't...

I don't think Drive and Hyper is the same now after owning a Border Collie. My other dog was hyper.. just mad as a box of frogs when I got her as a rescue and unfortunately was told she needed loads of exercise which seemed to make it worse. I was expecting my young male collie to be a...

lab though I prefer black Jack Russell or Border Terrier?

ok thanks.

Can BT be calm? How yappy are they? It can't dig my garden up either as I'm in rented but I'd be willing to make a 'digging box' for it in far corner of garden (from old pool/sandpit etc) I like them size wise but only one i know is one I have to pass everyday and it goes mental everytime we...

We've always had collies/corgi's or crosses of. I'd want to down size (from Border Collie size) if I got another but Lancashire Heelers I've heard are more like terriers behaviour wise and Corgi's are very hard to get in UK now, they're a vulnerable breed over here. I wouldn't want anything...
