Default Does anyone have Collies??

Are there any other Collie owners out there?

I've got two Border Collies and they're mental... Could run alllll day, and don't sit still for a minute, One is lovely and chilled and one is VERY nervous towards people borderline fear aggressive but he's getting there bless him, it can be a typical Collie trait.

My girl is 8 this year and boy is nearly 2 years old. We're clicker training the younger to try and bring him out a bit, hopefully to look towards Agility sometime in the future if his nerves allow.

wish i could do something with my boy, but he's scared of people soooo much bless him, he did go to puppy classes and tried to socialise him as normal but its his nature unfortunately, he's fine with family but needs to take things reallllly slowly if he doesnt know the person... daft moo.

Edited as posted at same time:
WOW lovely! she's gorgeous, My girl would be fantastic for flyball, ball obsessed, but she's started getting a bit stiff and i don't want to overdo it with her now shes getting on a bit, she'd do it no problem but would probably do herself more harm than good.

I have a border collie eve who i rehomed from kerrie off here

well what can i say lol she aint the shy timid lil thing i thought she was gonna be

She is always on the go always wants to play though she loves her cuddles too

she is fantastic with other dogs she lives with 5 others here and lived with 2 previouse to here with kerrie

Only things i have found she does odd are

she is fine with other dogs when out but soon as they start to run she tries to round them up with the nipping the ankles method

only time she is odd is if she is off lead and someone aproaches with a strange dog on lead then she gets a lil funny other than that she is a gem lol

Oh she is the only dog i have come across that can tire the huskies out and my sisters lil jack russell

I've got a border collie cross. He's 4 years old now. Not sure what he's crossed with. He's totally mental and absolutely ball crazy. That's all he thinks about!
