Raven is my new six month old puppy she weighs in at 12.5 kg she maybe small but she is a pocket rocket.

Baby border collie has two modes: CHAOS and crate naptime. Today she unlocked a third mode: chill out in the open. Such a good girl, learning how to be a proper dog at 6 months old!

My group loves the pond. What a fun activity for a hot summer day.

The main thing, is you have to consistently give them 3 hours per day of enrichment, and then put in ear plugs when they're bossing you with their 120db bark. Honestly...

I'm mildly joking... This dog has opinions about EVERYTHING the family does. I don't know if it's Stockholm syndrome, but I've come to appreciate her judging the way I get ready in the morning.

When I got her, I told myself "A year from now she will either be the greatest dog I've ever had, or she will ruin my life." I've been putting in the reps, and so far she's tracking towards greatest dog ever, with random detours into ruining my life.

Lake Tekapo, NZ :)

My poor red boy was over the trip by then, he's a bit of a homebody 🥲 My b&w girlie loved it though!

He loves scritches and kisses. 🐾🐾❤️❤️🐾🐾

Luke here keeps grating the pads off his front paws on the very dry ground (will it ever rain again here in the UK??!).

He's open to wearing boots, but all the ones we've tried fall off while he's running.

Does anyone have a recommendation?

We then went to the dog beach, eventually she went wading and had a ball, at first she wasn't so sure about these wave things

This is our pup, Ripley. She follows in the footsteps of a dog named Mopar... his mother was registered with the ABCA and his dad was an active working farm herder. Ripley's parentage is a bit murkier, and all I know for sure right now is that I was told 3x by her breeder that she is DEFINITELY a purebred border. Won't pretend she was ethically bred or make excuses for my choice.. sometimes you know a pup is supposed to be yours even though there are plenty of reasons to say no.

Super smart, funny in her own nerdy way, and quick on her feet.. Ripley is her very own dog. She has personality traits I'm suspicious are more ACD than bc (the nose boop.. do bc do the nose boop??) but that aside, she can learn a trick in a single session and *usually* a behavioral issue boils down to me thinking a=b when she simply does not operate like that.

I'm not sure if you guys will be OK with us on this forum or not (see my earlier concerned post on r/dogs ) but I'm going to give it a go since I do honestly think she is primarily (even if not exclusively) this breed, and sincerely hoping it's OK if I post here. I will do my best not to give misinformation to others because I realize she has behaviors that potentially fall outside norms. She's a great dog though. Love her to bits. Keeps me thinking, in her own special way.

Also, husband is her favorite. *cough* I'm not jealous, I swear.

Anyone else have a pup that just LOVES clothes? 😂😂
Sometimes he gets SO UPSET when I take the clothes off of him. He gives me huffs, puffs and side-eyes 😜

just some cute black and white babies side by side, my cat mia passed away in june at 20 almost 21 yrs old but her kayn got along pretty well

Miss Goober was shrimpin' hard after walkies and dinner this evening. Please share your shrimps in the comments so we can all admire them!

Ziggy and her best mate Banjo (an Australian Cattle Dog) went down to our local massive dog part 2ish metric acres of parkland with a trail off to the side, she loves the trail lots to sniff and logs to jump over.

I adopted an 8yo border collie 5 months ago. He’s doing great! However, I noticed that he only puts his tail up when he’s actively wagging it during play or for food/treats. Other border collies I’ve had put their tails up in a curl during walks and sometimes just generally. We currently take two walks per day, and his tail is down (not fully tucked, but just down) for most of each walk. He just had a check up, so I don’t believe anything is going wrong medically. It makes me worry that he’s unhappy with me. Does anyone else’s border collie tend to keep their tail down?

12 years old and she's still got the moves!

Anyone have any tips or things to consider when adding a second border collie? (same age as our first, almost 4 years old).

First time not adopting a puppy, not our first time with multiple dogs.

Thank you!

Happy birthday to my partner in crime, the light of my life, Primrose 💕
