deanflute 550 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's a bit of a long shot but do any of you lads know of any border collie litters coming up? Lad at work is wanting one as a family pet, I'm just trying to steer him clear of £600 puppy mill places so I thought I'd ask on here first. Cheers Dean Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Go ask at your local livestock mart. Someone will know of a local farm with a litter. Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I feel sorry for Collies as pets, unless they belong to very active people who want to do loads of fun things with them. Couch potatoes they ain't. 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) A Collie from working stock,. and required just to be a pet,..can be a total fecking nightmare... There are exceptions, of course,..but as a rule, you do need to provide an outlet for such a creature to express himself,...or it will get, emotional.. The herding breeds are not like,..other dogs,...they have been created different,..for a reason... There are far better types to keep as pets...
