My Favourite - loads of character in this little girl and so so pretty. Hobbies: running round madly for a few seconds then sleeping.
Little Black Paws has just found a home. Kind of pleased, but that was the one I wanted noone to have so I could justify keeping her, she's lovely. She's going to a couple who recently lost their collie, so really pleased she's found a good home.
We've also renamed Jabba, now 'Jabba the Pup' after a suggestion by my wifes physio.
5 to go.
i really wish i could iain , but my heart tells me no
i just so want a companion to run aound the hills with and stuff , it would be ideal here , not many other dogs about on my runs.
but my work schedule doesnt permit , ive hummed and arrred for years but a dog is a very big commitment and ive no experience with them
i asked amandas mum last nite about training and stuffas she has had 6x labradors and says it a very big amount of your time .
i wish i could take one mate but im just not cut out to train a dog up:(

No worries, Collies are demanding, so far 2 have gone and we've had interest from a few more.
Training's easy, just time consuming, basically just spend time with them and more time, as long as they feel accepted and get their behaviour reinforced they are fine. Saying that ours are unruly. They won't chase sheep, come back to the call, they sit and offer a paw for food, and that's about as far as I've ever got in 20 years with dogs, but really that's enough.
Ditto, but for different reasonsQuote:

He "left" when she deserted me and he died 3 years ago...a year after he was taken away. I've tried all evening to persaude Mrs Stick but despite having allies in the step-kids, she's scared of dogs (:eek: that wasn't on the CV when I interviewed her!) so I can sort of understand her hesitation...but like Daz, I'm away at work a long time so poor little creature wouldn't have the best of support.
They look so first class...despite your "evil" tag! Hope they all get home's they deserve.
They are behaving today. They've finally stopped attacking mum for Milk as she's stopped feeding. Her stomach was a mess last week. She did well to feed 7 pups for 5 weeks, even the vet thought she was too skinny after being abandoned to cope that long. We've tried to fatten her up, but getting weight on an active collie isn't easy.
We still keep losing pups though, I've lost count the number of times I count to 7 in a day. When tired they like to burrow off on their own into clothing, coast or bedding.
Baby Fly, Molly (formerly Little Black Paws) and Thorn have no found homes.
2 more strongly interested, so looking good so far.
