I'm just tired of people using lame excuses to pretty much "give away" their so beloved animal.. I could not just give away a dog, inless there was EXTREME cercumstances. And moving just isn't one IMO. I just believe that a dog should be considered part of the family, and I dont know anyone who would give away a child if they didn't have the room for it. I know collies can be extremely energetic, but that dog is an older one, so it should be a bit more mellow... And it shouldn't matter anyways, they should just take it to more dog parks, or for a walk everyday.
