trenchfoot 4,243 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Our lass has a full collie that does my nut in. Obsessive, fixated the lot. Around the yard, other than being a good guard it's a pain in the arse. The only time it's happy, other than working sheep ( we only have 1/2 Dozen, on 10 acre) occasionally, is when I use it for flushing game for the lurchers. Thing with collies is they need a job, as you know, but % of the time those early training days let them pick there own career! and you don't even know until it's too late! Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,784 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 If I liked it and got on with the dog, I could keep it for 14 years, useless or not.If I didn't and it was useless it would have to go.One way or another.Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
jukel123 7,957 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks for the pms lads. THL at its best. Would I get another Hancock? Na-worker to worker next time. Am I under the thumb of the Mrs and the kids?- Would I have a collie saturated dog again? I would sooner smash my nuts with a hammer. It's been interesting the amount of lads who also say they have suffered with collie types. Some collie types, but not all, are wired to the feckin moon. 6 Quote Link to post
matt1979 766 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Always found it funny why people on here advise novices to get collie xs as 'they are easier to train'. They may well be but they are also often neurotic, obsessive pain in the arses. As apposed to a lot of sighthounds which tend in my experience to be laid back and easy to live with. 3 Quote Link to post
