Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

Sable Border Collie, Working line

All the Border Collies I had every seen until recently where black and white, they are so much prettier in other colours.

The show line ones are mostly B & W

They look so happy
@black_cat do you know of the very important dog thing called sheep backing? It’s very important to know of because It’s adorable!

KELPIES

I love them and will probably get one at some point! Because I want sheep and will probably need a herding dog and Kelpies are the best. Maybe if they are big enough they would work as a “guard” dog as well ,need to ask my mother again what she wants since she is the one who says we need a “guard” dog.

@TheDawg says that they're like border collies on crack- be prepared for a LOT of energy

I will go visit some before getting one. I really like their looks and most importantly their herding style, so hopefully I can deal with the energy.

How do you make sure that you're exercising your dog enough while avoiding superdog syndrome?

Exercise them the same amount every day so they aren't building excessive endurance??...

I don't care when my dog builds endurance and wants more every time... idk.
