about a month ago we took the puppies to an off leash park. we started out with a few dogs around, all well behaved, shortly after many new owners came and we didn't feel comfortable with some dogs around and their owners not paying attention. We exited the park and after a minute or so about 20 dogs got into a fight, all owners running around like crazy trying to rescue their dogs. One was bitten badly and the woman was crying as she walked outside. They called the ambulance due to her injuries. I share your concerns.

finally, someone else not worried putting the puppies to a BMW It's a nike golf shirt, but I just nicknamed it my "Kimi Räikkönen" one due to its pattern. I had it on when taking delivery of my car, so ever since I put it on on my best days with my car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimi_R%C3%A4ikk%C3%B6nen The car is a Dinan signature 1 stage 3 tuned one though, so it pushes out just as much HP as an M4. I simply wanted the all wheel drive for stability, so went with the above combination

ohh wow, I'm impressed by the number of comments. Thanks for sharing the safety concern around the harness. What you don't see well on the picture is that the male hasa different harness we are using. It is BMW's own dog safety harness, which is made of the same material as the seatbelt itself with it's own buckle. Take a look at the link, it has some pictures which will give you an idea: https://www.ecstuning.com/ES196479/?gclid=COXC5Ymrl8oCFQooaQodRMYFfw This German engineered one I trust over everything. The little girl's harness which is a stock one from petco is certainly a good one to point out which I didn't think of....so that I will consider replacing with either the above recommended sleepypod or get another BMW harness for her too. With regards to my post, I merely shared our own experience of raising two puppies at the same time and everyone's experience may be different. I can certainly say that the little girl was the perfect one for potty training/ housebreaking, she was almost no problem from day 2, while the male collie was and still is the bottle neck. He was a much tougher one to train in many aspects...a bit stubborn similar to me

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Prior to committing to buy our border collies there were a few questions I had and I found very little information or people with practical experience sharing it online. I will address the following: 1) car travelling 2) apartment living with a border collie 3) nail grinding for collies kept in an apartment Car travelling My wife has a small coupe (Audi TT) and I have a convertible, both with full leather interior. We had some concerns about how the travelling will look like once our collies are grown and how they will behave in the car, but so far only positive experience with them. We trained them since the very first day and they are the perfect car riders. Please see the two pictures I attached, as they were travelling with us 6.5 hours one way from NC to the Smokies in TN. Border Collie in an apartment We had a border collie before, but we had the luxury of living in a house where we kept her in the garden. This time renting an apartment we thought about a lot before making a commitment. Those who are in the same shoes before buying, please consider the following: 1) you will need to be patient to crate train them and teach them to signal when they need a potty break 2) once they learnt how to signal you will wake up every 60 minutes when they are puppies to take them down..up to about 3-4 months, then in every 2-3 hours. around 5 months you can start to sleep (think about how you will handle this if you need to go to work during the day) 3) you will be required to spend minimum 3-4 hours daily with exercise...frequent walks, playing in house with their toys...etc. This will help to keep them happy & busy and avoid developing bad habits like furniture chewing. 4) they will demand to be part of your life in every aspect. We actually learnt to go to the bathroom leaving the door slightly open, as they like to check on us and they hate closed doors. They tend to come, look around and when they see us sitting on the toilet, they leave... I attached a picture with our little girl sleeping while I tried to use my laptop Nail grinding Since they are indoors you will need to take care of their nails. Our male BC now even falls asleep after a minute or so when we start to grind his nail. See picture attached!
