[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 408269, member: 3419"] As one who has rescued a few in her time, don't do it! It totally changes the dynamics. We had the perfect combo when we had 2 borzoi and a collie. Then I went and rescued a border collie/collie mix and blew it. Turns out she was abused. IT WAS TO MUCH WORK TO TRAIN HER TO GET ALONG!!! If she had been an only dog and we lived on a farm, she would have been perfect. Instead, we had a crazy house with dogs, kids, activities and she couldn't handle it. If it weren't for a former police officer-turned-dog-trainer who made me get her a prong choke, I would have had to had her put down.She lived to be 12.I think it took 11 yrs off of my life.(Okay, she was gorgeous, intelligent and lively. And I loved her. A lot.) [/QUOTE]
