He's a right little bugger!! But he's never messed in the house or chewed anything. The kids pull him around and tease him and he's never once risen to the bait. We've had him for nearly 2 years now. He's from a rescue centre in Richmond, he was due to be put down the day after we got him. He's our first family dog....He's great!!
[cite]Posted By: razil[/cite]how do you look after em if you (and your partner) work?
I work full time but the wife is part time. She's gone for about 4 hours max 3 days a week and the dog has the run of the house apart from the bedrooms.
Extremely intelligent, super temperment - but like most Border Collies prone to chew.
Me and my partner work but we are lucky as my parents are local and pop in a couple of times a day. If they aren't around then I employ a dog walker - otherwise I would have no house left.
I am this week House & Doggy sitting two pups an Alsation called Ralphy & an Alsation crossed with Labrador called Mason. They have in the first three days destroyed half a store room, dug up half of the back garden, destroyed a sack of spuds. They pee on the conservatory floor & jump up at you when they are plastered in mud. They are however a pair of treasures & really really friendly.
Got the king of all dogs(according to my wife!) A Westie named Hamish, little H is a year old and thinks he is the boss of the local park. can't post a photo as i havent got a clue how to do it!! Anyone out there who can help?
[cite]Posted By: Ledge Knows[/cite]sorry mate he's a cracker as well.
i just love all dogs apart from alsatians - devil dog's them
We had an Alsatian when I was a boy and it was the most wonderful companion that I could imagine- intelligent, loving and protective. What more could you ask?
Work prevents me owning a dog at present, but I would love a Pointer or a Viszla
We got a blue staff,got him during World Cup and kids called him Becks,that was before I bought my 5yr old season ticket other wise he would now be called Bent and we couldn't have that for a staff.He is a top dog,great with kids,a pansie with other dogs (runs away from Yorkshire Terriers).Not like the sterotype everyone thinks.I love at the end of a day at work takin him out for a hour or so,or indeed after we have been stuffed as I find it very theraputic (i couldn't be boverred to do spell check so if its wrong sod it).

They eat about 12 tins a day between them plus mixer , biscuits and my dinner if I leave it on the side .
The black one , roxy , is a loon though , has not grown out of being a puppy .
They're gentle giants Arf , so docile . My daughter torments them and they dont bat an eyelid
They're about 9 stone each .
We did have to buy a new motor mate !
