Border Collie Dog Breed Profile

Added on March 13th, 2009
Just adopted a beautiful little border collie . He is eighteen months old and was tied up in a barn for a lot of his life as he was not good at herding .
   
We asked the farmer could we take him home and he agreed .He was covered in cow manure and he had been sleeping in his own faeces .He had never walked on a lead and passed a bowel movement on the way home from the farm .
   
He was so frightened he urinated on himself when we tried to bath him .
   
But 2 days later he is now walking on a lead . Jumps into the car to go out , and just loves any affection that comes his way .
   
He is gaining confidence by the second .He is easy to train as he just wants to please his owner .
   
The border collie can be a family pet if the are well trained as they really enjoy obedience training .
