Breedia Dog Forum
Very interesting viewpoint. Which lines do your own dogs go back to?
An old post I know, but I must have missed it first time around. Personally, I would only sell a working bred puppy to a good working home and would...
Oh I know :-( Unfortunately I am fairly confident that the low price for border collie pups from farms contributes to the many dogs in unsuitable...
Thanks both - a significantly larger sum than that for a farm bred collie - which can go from as little as £50 up to around £200.
No problem :grin: We obviously have differing views and experiences ;-)
Out of interest, how much do you generally pay for a show bred collie or an obedience/agility line???
Thanks for the info on springers Rune. They are a breed I have never had much to do with really. Even the keepers up here seem to favour the...
I don't think I did a disservice to Leanne at all. In my post I said how her collies did well in an active pet home ... ie Leanne is doing enough...
That is one of my bugbears :-( I hate to see pups for sale like that ... and anyone with the cash can just walk up and buy one - no questions asked.
It is such a difficult one - the real function for the collie imo should still be as the working sheepdog. I do kind of understanding what you are...
:lol: :lol: :lol: Love that description of Jed's off switch :grin: Your two sound like the sort of collies that do well in active pet homes - ie...
Jess sounds like one in a million and I am so pleased she gave you your love of collies :grin: They are such a special breed.
I agree Steph. Moss was my first "pet" collie and as "just" a pet (though with lots of socialising, training, long walks etc) he was still a bit of...
If you think there are conflicting views in the UK (which of course there are) you ought to read some of the views from the USA, (if you haven't...
What sort of breeder did Mace come from DD? Why do you think that collie's are misunderstood?
I would like a rescue collie at some point in the future too, probably when the children are older. I like the fact that the BC Rescue in North...
Personally I prefer the Jack dog from the Ladnar breeder tbh. Have you already given word to Ladnar that you definitely want a pup from their...
I think it is probably a mix of both actually. All our working dogs seem to be born with off switches. They aren't particularly taught to chill...
Does your OH miss a collie around the place now? Or is he as smitten as you with the flatties? :-)
There is no excuse for that at all Mish. Thankfully I don't know any farmers or shepherds like that, and if a dog won't work then it is found a good...
