As I was trolling through my Twitter stream this afternoon I ran across a link to this story: http://elkana.info from @border_collies. It’s short but excellent post about some of the issues surrounding getting a border collie, particularly a border collie puppy.
I agree on all points. I would especially emphasize the one about a first dog. Unless you have real experience with dogs and working dogs in particular I recommend you not start with border collies.
Borders love to test you. They are very intelligent and exercise alone won’t cut it. While they can be great pets, they can also terrorize your home and family if they don’t have an outlet for their energy AND intelligence.
Happy reading!
