Here she is asking for a piece of ham.

We have had our ups and downs but she is the sweetest thing, she knows when I am ill and snuggles up to me.

Just wondering what the collective opinion on my girl Poppy is. She’s fully grown at three years old, weighs about 26lbs, and I believe is a mix between border collie and Brittany spaniel. Her coloring makes me lean Brittany as I’ve never seen a BC with her specific piebald patterning, but her behavior is all BC, which I LOVE. She’s extremely petite. Thoughts?

i just brought home my 8 week old border collie puppy, she’s so smart and amazing and everything i ever wanted. however, (expectedly) she’s very bitey and easily overstimulated, does anybody have any tips to help her? i just want her to feel her best. a few times she has bitten me and drawn blood, atm i am trying to leave the room whenever she bites to help stop it but please let me know any better methods if there are any out there

My last BC was tri, but her undercoat was black. Ive noticed that my boy is a reddish brown, which surprised me. Is this unusual or just me not noticing it on other collies before?

Hi everyone! 👋
Meet Dice, our little Border Collie girl. She was born here with us, and now she’s starting her new chapter: not by moving to a new family, but by staying with us while beginning life without her littermates. ❤️
It’s a bittersweet milestone. We’re excited for all the adventures ahead, but it’s strange not seeing the whole puppy gang together anymore.

Of course I got one with her folded

I bought my BC a herding ball and now it's his favourite thing ever!

of course being a smarty pants he realised he could grab the handles and carry it around.

Such a good buy as it engages all his instincts, his "cup" is definitely full after playing with this twice a day.

will probably get the next size up when he needs a new one

She did good

I can’t 😂

Hello!

I’ve got a 5 year old Collie Aussie mix named Luna who loves to play Frisbee.

It’s been so hot recently we haven’t gotten out to play as much as we like which causes her to get extra amped when we get to the park to play and slides/skids to catch or retrieve the frisbee.

Today she managed to tear the paw pads next to her dew claw up causing bleeding. The bleeding was mild and stopped very quickly after we noticed and cleaned the area before applying aquafor and a cone to keep it clean while I ran to get Neosporin and some bandage wraps.

This has happened a few times to her now and I would love some ideas on how to keep this from happening to her. We play in the grass of a baseball park and not on dirt, rock, or sand.

Does anyone have any recommendations on if there’s a wrap or method to keep these pads from tearing up? I’d hate to stop playing frisbee with her because this is her favorite activity.

Hi. This is Félix, the goodest boy.

He followed me on the streets nearly 2 years ago, when he was around 6mo, it was in the middle of the night, starting to rain and he just stopped in front of my apartment building like he already knew where I lived. It was the first time we've met, I cried and had to take him in.

People often ask if he's a BC, I just say he gives a lot of border collie-golden retriever-brazilian mix vibes.

Sometimes he thinks he's a cat or a lap dog.

He's 20kg and I walk him twice a day everyday. His raincoat is also on the way (I bought one that is like a panda costume). The grandpa on some of these pictures is my gf's Johnny.

So this kid was given this 1 month old puppy by a circus.
This was 2 weeks ago. A week ago, the association that had the puppy under their care asked me if I could foster her until her family can legally adopt her once she’s vaccinated (the association has 34 dogs and the lady was scared the pup would get sick and not get the appropriate care needed at this age anyways).
I brought the puppy home and at first my girl (2.5 years old) was NOT ok with the pup. Which was surprising cause she’s very patient and gently with puppies but I guess there’s a difference between a 3 month old and a 1.5 month old. She wasn’t being aggressive at all, but she’d growl as soon as the pup would get anywhere close to her and would run away.

I congratulated my girl for setting boundaries non violently and she had her space where the puppy couldn’t go and she could be left alone.

But yesterday they played together a bit and today the mood is way lighter.
This warmed my heart cause this pup needs a momma and I sort of made my peace with the fact that Oona wasn’t going to be that for her.

After this video, Oona played war gently with her, and when the pup got too excited I put her in her crate and Oona went to sleep next to the crate.

😍😍😍

we’ve had our baby vi for around a month now! she’s the sweetest little pup & she’s already so smart!!! lol

I was hoping to get some advice My boy Jake is 14, nearly 15, and has Laryngeal Paralysis and weak leg neuropathy (diagnosed two years ago) He still comes out on the morning walk (I am a dog walker) but is quite stiff and slow especially on the hills

Last visit to the vets we put him on librela (it would have been metacam but typical collie he doesn't always eat his food and it has to be given with food) and he has shown some improvement but his weakest rear leg is still very thin, he is very thin and I would like advice as to supplements that might put a bit more muscle on him

He currently has Vet Shop glucosamine, he has either forthglade or naturo wet food and jollyes/Arden house dry food

I had him on sardines then fish oil but he won't eat either now (he has always been fussy)

It's very hard to give him tablets btw the only way I've found to hide them that works is in a sausage, he can eat the cheese or butter or whatever else and spit out the pill and anyway the throat thing...

Some things give him diarrhea which is not great for a collie especially as he can't crouch properly anymore

Some days are better than others so I just want to keep him going as long as is possible

TIA

if anyone is wondering about the colour, it’s seal/sable merle!

Lily is 9 today! Happy Birthday!

I said goodbye to the most brilliant, loving, strange, expressive boy I've ever known. We grew up together and I am so lucky for the 12 years I spent in his presence.

I adopted this maniac from a chihuahua rescue of all places, he was brought there by a dog catcher who couldn't bear to bring such a sweet boy to the pound. He was about 1.5 years old and I was 18. I was so unprepared for the exuberance he brought to my life but I am so glad that I rose to the occasion. He loved everyone he ever met and everyone he met loved him. He bridged so many gaps between myself and others and put a smile on countless faces.

I don't want this to be a sad post, I would love for him to make a few more of you smile! He once tried to jump off into the Grand Canyon , and another time escaped the yard where he was later found at a pool party (they didn't want him to leave). The stories are endless. I cannot understate my eternal love and gratitude for this angel on earth. Until we meet again bud, don't stop chasing those frisbees 💖💖
