The Farm Dog

[Greenbeast]

everything is pre installed in collies

ha ha that's a way to put it!
Our collie is the most reliable having competed at crufts obedience

 

[Mursal]

That took courage taking a collie to an event never mind Crufts ..............
It certainly wouldn't be my idea of fun, not with our lot anyway.

Well it was 2 years before i met her, she is a bit mental like that, and said she'd gone through times of wanting to kill him
He's one of the dogs that winds me up the most, he's reactionary, and very very vocal. Would be better off in a fewer dog household.
Him and the bulldog are the two that change the behaviour of the whole pack, if one or both are removed from a situation things are much more pleasant

Yes, you can have just one or two dogs over the quote of sanity ..............

My OH is often heard saying, 'what's one more?', when in reality it's not the extra two meals a day to buy, or the extra (cost priced for us) vet fees, it's the change in the pack behaviour because that is a day-to-day issue, potentially more aggravating

Do they ever scrap?..... proper fight I mean. Our two haven’t for over two years but when they do it’s mayhem at the very least and we are always on the look out for the slightest change of attitude.

We've had one fight. When the rottweiler came of age he fought the top boy (Newfie/burnese), we had to pull them apart. That seemed to settle things with the rottweiler taking top boy slot (still below top bitch)

“Jazz” had her first trip out in the van yesterday for her microchip. 7 weeks old tomorrow.

High hopes for this little one.....

Talking of Collies... what protein feed do you folk feed your collies. For the sake of this exercise assume that your collie is 7 and not working hard all day every day..

Mine have a mug of bakers every morning but hardly ever touch it.pup penny has fresh or cooked mince every dinnertime as she is small along with a few treats during the day.she would run all day given the chance.katie the 11 year old would eat all day given the chance,when she was not asleep anyway

Think this will be his last lambing as main dog, just not sure how to break it to him yet, still gathers and pens but struggling with his back a bit now

 

[Gator]

I scraped @Leereade 's photo to show Frank at work so he can make me a quad box (hope there's no rights infringement ......)

I thought I'd post again on this thread especially for @nick... who loves his red collies
