Breedia Dog Forum
Nope, what I was originally saying was that I had enjoyed reading a debate about whether only working (as in stock) border collies should be bred...
As I have mentioned once or twice ;-) I started this thread as a debate, to get interesting points of view from different border collie owners. I...
Not at all - just that breeding away from working line dogs, means breeding out the working drives. I don't mean that it will make the dog any...
I actually think I did - "Off the fence, my opinion is that I personally am only interested in ISDS registered border collies from working...
The rather snide remark you made about a "born again novice" prompted my response.

I do understand what you are saying, and to a large extent I am playing Devil's Advocate, as it is a very interesting discussion :grin:...
Hmm I doubt that Macman. Just look in the Farmers Guardian, Scottish Farmer or any agricultural publication. There are always well bred pups...

The breeders prerogative I guess. If I were to ever breed my first choice home would be a working home that I knew looked after their dogs, but I...
I also edited my post to say I had checked out the breeding and Kicks' pup is from ISDS lines.
:grin: I am fairly open-minded to be honest. I think either a home that used the collies natural ability and brain capacity - some kind of dog...
Isn't he a Bryning bred pup though and therefore dual registered? Edited : I have since checked out the breeding, and Felix is pure ISDS lines :-)
I know what you are saying but I guess that starts to get us into the realms of keeping collies as pets at all. I don't have any problem with...
