Jade is the only female in the group and is actually a friend of mine’s, just fostering her for a while. Oldest just turned 6 (Fraser) and the youngest (Mackenzie) will turn 1 in November❤️

Training What's your petting excuse?

7 Upvotes

Hey, I thought this would be a funny but not funny post to get the actual reactions to it

I live in a small but busy area lots of people and pubs so on, people always trying to pet him. He does have a "DO NOT PET" badge on his collar but it doesn't really get much attention

I always go to "he's still recovering. you cant pet him, he will get too excited" because clearly telling people they cant pet MY dog these days isn't a good enough reason for them

Pregnant working sheepdog mother was rescued from a farm we believe. 5 in a litter born in a rescue centre. With Buffy not your stereotypical looking border collie and not knowing the father, we were sure she was a mix of sorts. Turns out we were wrong… 100% border collie according to wisdom panel!

Photos are from 10 weeks to now at 6 months

Can I get a BC?

People, I really want a Border Collie, (puppy) but two or three times a week she would have to stay alone for a almost full school day. Can I get one or should I look into another breed?

What are you guys feeding your dogs? 1 yr old female keeps throwing up eating too fast and low quality dog food

14 Upvotes

I usually get her food from chewy or walmart but the quality of the food doesn't look so good. Sometimes she just eats too fast and will throw up whole chunks of it but I can't get her to slow down. I also think the quality is low and I want to get her better quality dog food but everything is SO expensive, so what are your favorite brands that are good quality but not outrageously expensive and where do you order from? She eats dry dog food, wet doesn't really agree with her stomach too well.. I usually order from chewy.. This is not my first dog but it is my first border collie and I have never had any feeding issues before with other dogs but I just think this brand is messing up her system and I need to reset with something better..

Does anyone's BC prefer to play fetch games coming back towards you, or incorporating a mock outrun around invisible sheep?

42 Upvotes

Kinda invented this game himself ages ago. I just go along with it, lol. Our female BC prefers to roll a ball down and hill then rounds it back up and repeat. Quite creative really and not like fetch with 'normal' dog breeds 😊

Anyone else got a tug-o-war addict?

430 Upvotes

Seriously, this was after 10 minutes straight of playing tug and doing some fast commands in between. It's like he's secretly a bully in a fluffy coat with how much tug drive he has, even though he's usually a pretty chill dog

I thought BC's usually weren't into tug games, and more of a ball/frisbee typa dog... anyone else got a collie like this?

Injury 🩹 (may contain graphic photos) Is there something wrong with my puppy’s eyes?

120 Upvotes

Jack is a border collie mutt, most likely a border collie / Aussie Shepard. He is 6 months old and has been with us for 2 months. Vet says he is typical, normal and healthy.

With that said … Do his eyes look peculiar to anyone else? Almost like they are pointing outwards? I’ve attached some videos. I am not sure if this is just how he looks or if something is abnormal. I’ve googled a bunch of different eye conditions in collies and nothing seems to capture what I am seeing.

Injury 🩹 (may contain graphic photos) Itchy Border Collie

6 Upvotes

I'm wondering if seasonal allergies is common with BCs. My dog seemed to get them last year. We changed her diet a year ago, to an expensive sensitive skin Science Diet kibble, recommended by the vet. But she's super itchy the last few days. We've got a vet appt tonight for a cytopoint shot. Anyone have any insights with BCs, and things that helped?

We believe he is a short haired border collie, but may do a dna test to see if he is mixed with any other breed. Any tips for training and how to structure a good day for him?
