I have 4 Border Collies. Does anyone else have a Border Collie? Does anyone here like them? :) They are such great, obedient dogs! I wouldn't believe it if someone did not like Border Collies. Everyone one in my family has one - we have all grew up with them and still love them!
i have a mix and would never get another breed. their just amazing.
Plus i love the smarts.
I've never had one but one came up to me in a park a few years ago to be petted and he was soooooo sweet. His name was Diesel. I have also seen one near my house who is very well trained in crossing the road. They are very intelligent aren't they?:)
I would never ever get another breed. They are just the most perfect breed for me. And I believe they are the most obedient dogs and the quickest learners. I work with my Border Collies everyday in herding, flyball, obedience, and agility, if you tell them to do something, there are right at it. And they are also very quick.
i dont have one but i do like the breed. I dont know if i would get one, but you never know. :)They're a beautiful breed. Theres quite a few members on here who have border collies.
they are THE breed if you ask me :)
my BC is in flyball also.
I have an 11 year old border collie/healer cross. She is the absolute most wonderful dog in the whole world.
They are LOVELY dogs. I adopted a 7 year old from my local shelter 7 years ago, and she was an AWESOME dog, her name was Kash, and she was one of the most active, and most sweet dogs I have ever had. And she was also VERY obedient.
i love border collies!! i cant get one though because of their high energy levels :(
Yea if you dont want a very actuve dog, A Border is not the breed for you.
Mines only a mix, and shes CRAZY hyper... lol
THIS is a pic from about 2 am one night.. She was crazy hyper and was still going strong, she was jumping after someting I had in my hand..

Mia's page
Maybe someday....*sigh*
show us your dogs!!! we want pics
I think they are lovely dogs my auntie has 2 Border Collies, Millie & Gypsy. I don't have one though, maybe one day.
I like BCs. I may own one someday as they are so good at agility and ... aren't they the smartest breed? I think they are and if not they are in the top 5 of smartest breeds. I would have to do more research on the breed before I owned one, though. The ones at work generally get on my nerves but I honestly believe it's because they are so high energy and so being locked up in a crate most of the day isn't easy for them ;)
*raises hand* I have a border collie!!!!!:D And welcome to Pet Talk!! Don't you just love BCs??!! Right now I just have Blaze, and he's almost 4 years...I used to have another border collie too, Bandit. Here's a few pics of Blaze! I'd love to see some pics of your BCs as well, whistler_pups!:D

(I love outdoor pictures of Blaze if you can tell! hehe):D
How big and what color are your Border collies? Blaze is actually 40 pounds...on the smaller side I guess, but I was wondering what to compare him to.:)
Cute Blaze Pics :) ... I do not have a Border Collie, but my cousin does and when she comes over she will always bring him. He and my Aussie, Rex, are Buddies!! :rolleyes:
Thanks!:D They're all random old ones though...;)Quote:

She looks just like a mini border collie!! Too cute :D
Blaze is adorable!
yea thats pretty much what she is.
I should just start saying shes a Mini Border when people ask what she is.. Lol
Cause i just consider her a border collie. I dont really see her as a mix, cause the only thing thats mixed on her is her tail and her size.
I have two Border Collies and one foster Border Collie.
Buddy and Niki

Yup they're about medium-sized dogs, about the same size as Aussies, which are on average about 40 - 45 pounds at adult weight :)Quote:

Sometimes people ask me if my dog is a BC or a BC mix because of the way she moves and stares. She is a Belgian groenendael though. Our herding teacher breeds border collies. They are neat to watch, but really not my kind of breed. I groom many of them at work and they are just so not for me.
Same here, they are one of my favorite breeds, but soo not good for my lifestyle. (not that i could get another dog anyway! lol)
Oh i love them.
I love how I can go out with sasha and she can run and run and run and play play play. :)
And doing flyball toghter is amazing.
I love them - ever since Shep was on Blue Peter............

i must admit. I go crazy for BCs , their just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have 4 Border Collies Sandy, Stacy, Molly, and Jasper and they are very, very, well SUPER smart. They try to herd our other dogs but one of them is an Akita and he just won't have the herding thing. We will try to put some pics up of them but you can see Stacy do her thing, shaking her butt while dancing to the twist by chubby checker. Play the song and the video at the same time, it's soo funny. Click Here
Tell us what you think
We are doggy-sitting a female Border Collie, named Wisher...... she just loves to give kisses, right on your face... and he loves tennis balls!! She is just the sweetest lil' girl, though!
I grew up with Borders... I had one in the emergency room when I was born licking my face :p And ever since then... I have never and never will have another breed in my lifetime.
Many years ago I rescued a mom Border Collie and her six all female pups from next to very busy train tracks! I was on a date, and walking along, and something must have told us to cross the street! :eek: That's when in the dark I heard whimpering and barking. It was too dark to climb down the very steep hill at night, so the nextday I skipped school and took a bus to the area. I got some food at the nearby market, stole a few blankets from a Goodwill donation bin, and made the climb down. At first mom was very protective of her newborns who were in a muddy area, but after she gained some trust she allowed me to gather her pups, and leash her and take her home. :) A week or so later I was in the same area walking the mom, and a guy came up and said "Genaro"? Of course mom dog was elated and I (being stupid at the time) gave him my phone # and told him she had six puppies at my house. It worked out just fine as the idiot never called, and I ended up with one brilliant girl (and the runt of the litter) for the next 12 years. :) The rest of the litter were placed into an excellent shelter where they all got homes. Border collies sure are high energy dogs, and if I were younger I'd get another in a heartbeat. :D
I love border collies. I have a border collie mix. They have great personalities and are some of the smartest dogs ever. I love them.
