Border collies are cute

incase you haven’t thought about it
If you do get from someone rehoming a puppy specially a 9week old one they just got, they probably won’t be well bred, unfortunately because they are quite a popular breed there are a lot of bad breeders. You probably know all ready the breed has a tendency for nervousness, noise sensitivity and being unable to calm down.so chances of a rescue border collie being able to do assistance dog work is quite slim. Good luck with your puppy when you get one! (I wish I got a border collie instead of a springer )


also there is no registration or qualification need for an assistance dog in England

That's my main concern, I won't be able to guarantee their longterm health, eyesight, hearing, hip scores, various genetic issues, I just won't know! I'll likely meet the pup a couple times before making a decision, get to see their temperament, see how they react to certain things, depending on age. Once I make a decision, I'll also get them to a vet for a general check, least then I might be able to discover issues before they arise.
This is the risk with unwanted/rescue pups, It certainly bothers me, but I think I'd still feel better taking an unwanted pup in

I love giant schnauzers but they are so difficult and high maintenancehalf one is enough

Ooh yes, but they're so gorgeous!

Its happened too many times for me  Fanta was fine for along time before anything started to go wrong. As long as you know the risks go for it!

They're becoming more and more adventurous! Pretty sure they'll be flying all over the place! That chick is my third favourite!

My oldest is. Admittedly, and terribly, my younger girl isn't. That was my parents responsibility and I've been pestering them to take

How tall will the flower get before blooming?

 

[fluffycrow]

That, I am not too sure. With most, the flowers that are closer to the bottom will have started blooming LONG before the stock has reached its full size. Depending on the size of your plant, and environmental parameters, you can expect it to reach a half to a full palm before the first flower blooms
