Before they.... We gave her a last pet good by and she wagged her tail for us 😢 not even 5 yet. Abandoned as a puppy to a friend in the Church - the eulogy my wife wrote "the Lord has given, the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord" Job 1:21 Our sweet girl, we love you, we will so miss you, we wanted more time with you, but we're so glad we had you in our lives" "we thought you might be too much for us, but you we're just right for us"

    Ive had Border Collies too and am onto my third,he was a year old at the end of August and before I say anything else I will admit he's turned out to be the hardest work of any of them,and of any other dog Ive ever had.BUT,he's improving so much and I honestly think that the difficult times him and I did have are down to his intelligence and always being a step ahead of me lol I think their intelligence makes them challenge us more,but if we stick with it,and recognise that in them,and that theyre not like other dogs...then we end up with amazingly clever,intuitive Collies that need mental stimulation as well as physical exercise.I adore my boy,we have a bond,even after all the teething problems..I probably annoyed him as much as he did me at times lol .We walk at least twice a day,running in the park,him,not me lol,focuses on me alone,passing joggers,bikes or other dogs are of no interest to him,we're a team ,and I feel very proud of him.Would I have had him had I known the initial hard work(bearing in mind that Ive had BC'S before)..maybe not,but the hard work from his side and mine lol has paid off and he's a wonderful dog and right this minute snuggled with me on the couch,our me and him time after a busy day :)

      it' the wheels (they invented it) - or anything that moves for that matter. it can be a bad habit if you want a farm dog loose about the place because they will go for passing traffic and it's a difficult habit to break. we had one that realised cars were too big and fast but you couldn't go anywhere in peace with a wheelbarrow.

    @einarejdesgaard6316 Місяць тому

    At the dog park if things get too intense, my BC will break away from the rest and herd them together to calm things down. Zero training regarding herding, just a super strong instinct.
    Teaching him that it is good to be alone has been worth the effort. On his 3rd bday (yesterday as I am writing this), we went for a 6km run (warm up really, for him), then spent the next 7 hours hiking and at a dog park (always has access to water and is commanded to relax periodically). He will only stop running when I command him to lie down etc.
    Never any injuries, never starts fights, only de-escalates and loves everyone and everything, even cats (which he wants to play with, not herd). Super quirky at times, hyper intelligent for sure and reads me like an open book no matter what I try when attempting to change things up.
    He is very affectionate but this does not mean he is one that prefers cuddles on the couch to anything else. Greets whomever, wherever, and then it´s playtime/training etc. We´re talking at least 5 hours of activities every single day. I wouldn´t trade it for anything in the world. BCs are incredibly special.
    As a puppy he was a great white shark with legs. I don´t think I need to go any deeper into that, haha.

    Late comer and all true, but they're worth it. Our first BC chewed a big hole through my couch in 1999, but she was an unbelievable dog and I learned was my fault for leaving her home alone my whole workday with nothing to do but what she had at hand. Wife was away on vacation, so I put in a doggy door so she could go out and run in the fenced in yard to cope with my absence. She was our love and the beginning of our journey with BCs and we've had as many as six at a time, now unfortunately down to four as our oldest passed away last year. Keep me on my toes, for sure.

    I pet sat for my friend’s Border Collie, she is still a puppy 11 months old, I used to own a Boston Terrier and a Lab, they were not as energetic a Border Collie. I don’t remember them bitting as much a Border Collie either, the nib at my feet a lot. Interesting enough, the dog likes me so much that I let her loose at the park and came back to me every time I asked her to. She doesn’t do that with her Mom! Smart smart dog, I just need to learn how to deal with the bitting next time I pet sit for her.

      Play biting at that age is normal border collies are natural more nippy than most. But none of mine kept doing that after a year old. I would suggest more play with her when you pet sit to get some of her excess energy out :)

    My Border Collie watches me and my cat in the mirror. It’s like she understands how mirrors work. I can sit her in front of the mirror, do a down hand signal with no talking and she’ll down.
    She’s also the only one of my dogs that ever watched TV. Everyone else could care less.
    Then there’s the stare and stalk, which initially scared me because I didn’t understand what she was doing. I thought she was acting “aggressive” or trying to hunt the other dog or cat. It can be pretty intense, head down, tail perfectly horizontal, slowly creeping towards whatever she’s “herding”. She’s never done any chasing or anything like that, thankfully. I just worry that other people or their dogs are going to take it the wrong way, so I’m working on “Look At That” or “Good Look”. To get her to check in with me, instead of intense prolonged staring at in appropriate times.
    She’s so athletic too, I’ve never had a dog that can change directions as fast as her. She can full sprint 180 and run in the opposite direction. Or 360 butt spin during zoomies, then hop 180 into a down while playing. It’s funny to watch.

      @sineadmccarthy7635 2 роки тому +1

      @@lorettagrey7383 you train them to be calm as puppies, and also if you want a calm BC you can't fall into the trap of 'its a BC so it needs hours and hours of exercise a day', once you start doing that they're gonna be used to that level of activity and need it everyday. Mental stimulation is a lot more important for them than physical, the golden rule I learnt when I first got mine was 5 mins of exercise for every month they are until they're fully grown at around 2 years old. So for example a 2 month old will get 10 mins, a 7 month old will get 35 mins and an adult should get about 2 hours which can be split up throughout the day but you can also tailor this to your personal needs as long as you start when they're young, make sure they're healthy and give them enough mental stimulation. My BCs nearly 8 months now and whenever anyone meets him they're always shocked by how calm he is (don't get me wrong, hes not apathetic, he still has energy he's just not go go go all the time like people seem to think BC are) which I give credit to me giving him boundaries such as him knowing that when we're playing if I say 'all done, no play' he drops whatever were doing and he settles. BCs are like children, if you let them run around all day they will but you're in charge and you need to set firm boundaries so they don't become ferals haha and also don't confuse your BC being in over tired gremlin mode for still having energy and needing to run it off. I guarantee that if your BC is more manic than usual if you just remove any stimulus they'll pass out in 2 seconds, again just like a child

    it was my job to clean out the bitches kennel, lay clean newspaper etc.
