  1. All this info is really interesting My lazy puppy thinks Im nuts He wants to sleep and I want to train, walk, play, do stuff constantly He is just a cuddle bug and would rather curl up on the couch than do anything else. I am careful not to over do it, but we try walk 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes (as much as he is allowed as I don't want to over do it while he is still growing) Every walk is a training session (he has to be at heel the whole time, we work on sits, stays, downs etc in all sorts of different places) We train 1-2 times a day for 10 minutes or so I play tug with him for 5-10 minutes a day We go to the dog park once a week for 1hour + He plays with our other dog lots during the day And we go to training for an hour once a week I am really looking forward to having a BC but I know I can wait until Cash is older I think I can handle it
  2. I always knew I couldn't get another dog yet, I have to wait until Cash is at least 12months old, most likely older. All this info is really helpful My next dog will be a male BC, most likely a rescue, a young adult or puppy. It sounds like they need AT LEAST an hour of good exercise a day, but a few need 2hours + I want to rescue and having a basic idea of their personality will be good. Later in life I want to do more with a BC, probably agility, obedience and herding Then I will look at a reputable breeder, Im having trouble finding one I like (Im in New Zealand) The closest one I like is in Australia. They are my heart breed, I have loved every one I have ever met

  4. Well I met the 8month old, he was a sweet heart I would have taken him on the spot but he did not get along with Jemma at all She is a grumpy old lady, she only gets along with a few dogs
  5. That was super helpful! I just made the mistake of asking to meet an 8month old border collie I now feel bad, I already have two dogs, and we have only had our puppy for 2 months I just keep finding myself wanting another dog I can walk every day, usually 1hour a day, we also go to the dog park every week Plus playing with my other puppy But I don't know if this is enough? We also do a bit of training plus I love treat balls
  6. Hi Im new here I have a 5year old fox terrier and a 6month old lab mix. I have loved Border collies ever since I was a little kid. I know they are very intelligent and need a lot of mental stimulation as well as physical exercise I need to be sure that I can provide everything a border collie will need before I get one But when people say they are high energy I don't know if I can quite get a grasp of what that really means. How much exercise/training etc do you give your border collie everyday?
