[QUOTE="donna723, post: 200025, member: 1883"] Susie, I wasn't on at you - sorry if I came off sounding like that. I was just trying to give you some ammunition to use on your brother to maybe persuade him ... [B][I]"Two didn't make the check through animal control (one was a hoarder, the other sold animals for science labs)"[/I][/B] That's AWFUL! How can people be so cruel? Border Collies are such great dogs and are supposed to be the most intelligent breed of dog there is! When I lived in the country our neighbor had a herd of cows and he bought a little Border Collie brother and sister thinking that he may be able to [I]train[/I] them to herd his cows. He took them out in his pasture when they were very little just to see what they would do, and to his amazement, they ran right out and started herding up his cows! I had the sweetest little girl Border Collie show up in my yard when I lived in the country! She was muddy and dirty and her hair was so thick that I didn't realize that she had a collar on until the next day. She had a rabies tag and I called the vet and got the name of the owner and called her. Turned out she had given the dog to another lady who had begged and pleaded for the dog and said how she would take such good care of her! I called the second lady who turned out to be a dingbat! Apparently she kept the dog in a muddy outside pen with no shelter - the dog dug out from under it and came to my house - ten miles away!
