I was not overly keen on Border Collies before I got Happy, but I am converted, its not a breed you can get bored with owning because they are all so different, totally differnt looks and totally differnt personalitys. I mean I have 2 and they are polar opposites, but they both have the attributes that I LOVE abouts BCs. how do you get bored? they are the best breed ever, and I will always have them, I'm hooked.
