steveuk Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Border Collies are tops...lol and, we must be mad not one but TWO rescue dogs (and wifey looking for a third as we speak) Bothe from the Border Collie trust (Rugeley) Glen...nd Tilly - who isnt QUITE what one would think of as a Collie (we almost had her down as a WELSH SHEEPDOG) but displays all the BC traits.... They get on very well..... BTW, thanks to digital cameras i have 1000's of images, if i get boring just say so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSmitty Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 They're both LOVELY! Thank you for rescuing and welcome to the Board! Is Tilly the smooth coat? Sure looks like a border collie to me, too. I love the smooths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildFlower Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Welcome to the boards! I think it is safe to say that people on this forum don't tire of looking at pictures of Border Collies. A lovely pair you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordercentrics Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Very sweet dogs! But I wonder how insane you will think WE are! We have FOUR rescue Border Collies, two rough coats and two smooth..... Kathy Robbins Spokane, WA, USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jexa Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 We also have 2 rescue BCs...I can definitively state for my family that we are totally crazy! They are adorable, love the cuddling on the couch! And agreed, it's pretty hard to have too many pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I have two rescues too, and, um, well, um, never mind. Not crazy. Not me! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcv-border Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Welcome to the Boards. You have lovely dogs, and it is wonderful that you adopted them from a rescue. Jovi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckle-legged dog Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 So beautiful!!!! You're not crazy, you're in HEAVEN!!! This is my first post here after lurking a long time, your dogs look wonderful. They are all curled up looking like my sweet Layla did beside me while I was knitting last night. So peaceful. Heaven.

beachdogz Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for the pics....they are beautiful. Rescues are the BEST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloria Atwater Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Awwq, your dogs are beautiful! (And their ears are adorable.) I have a rescue BC, too. My old man, Jesse, is now 13-1/2, but I got him at age 2 and he turned out to be a brilliant farm dog. I do my best to keep him pampered and spoiled in his however-dotty old age. Thanks for showing off your "kids." ~ Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaBluez Tess Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 You will find we all love out dogs. All of us have a rescue or two, and those all have special places in our hearts. Looking forward to more stories and WELCOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoresDog Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Beautiful dogs! I especially like the last sofa picture. So true, Diane, about our rescue dogs. Daisy, my avatar, is a rescue. She's pretty special to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum24dog Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Is Tilly the smooth coat? Sure looks like a border collie to me, too. I love the smooths. She looks very like another Tilly I know (definnitely full BC) - even down to the ears. "My" Tilly doesn't have as much white though.

steveuk Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 We actually renamed her in honour of Madeline East, a lady in County Donegal, Ireland who rescues animals, they have a problem with BC's - our 1st (Glen) came across from Ireland (actually all 3 of ours did), Madeline had Glen for 8 months (I think she couldnt let him go), luckily Glens paperwork came with an email for Madeline and now we are in contact via Facebook This is her FB community page Jessie dog rescue, Co Donegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Elle Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Your Tilly looks a lot like my Kit, and she is 100% border collie. I absolutely love that almost-smooth-coat, lots of white, prick-ears look!! And your new one looks like a sweetheart. Welcome to all of you!

beachdogz Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well today, damn it, we went and "rescued" another BC.. Maddie... I'm jealous! But, congratulations. Looks like you've got a B&W, a smooth, and a red & white. I have a B&W and a red & white....and I plan to get a smooth as my next one. Isn't diversity wonderful??!! ETA: Oh, and the Brian May quote led me to look up his life and his advocacy of animal welfare. Quite an interesting read....not to mention I love Queen. Never knew all that. thanks.
