Toby was rescued at 11 months old. He was originally from a BYB, sold to a pet store. A family bought him, they had good intentions, but did not have the time and space to properly work his body and mind. Toby herded the small children and nipped one of the children. The owners sent him to the shelter. He was then rescued from the shelter, and we adopted him from the rescue.
Toby is very social, and loves people. he gets along with all dogs and loved to run and play. He is very outgoing and loves to be the center of attention. He settles very well in the house, regardless if he is tired. Toby loves to play ball and I'm doing agility training with him. Somthing that I have noticed even though he is very intelligent he is harder to train then my ES Lady. (Lady has a bigger desire to please) You need to be very accurate for him. In agility my commands need to be the same every single time or he may not do it.

Having a border collie is a very big commitment, they need to have metal stimulation and exerise every day. I can tell when toby hasn't had enough exercise, he gets very antsy and starts his obsessive shadow and light chasing. When he has had proper stimulation all the obbsessive behaviors dissapear.
I would reconmend this message board for border collie info
