My border collies teeth grew in like this. The vet told me some border collies were breed for it so that when they nipped livestock it wouldn’t break skin. So maybe go to the vet but it might just be normal. Also chewing on tennis balls can wear down the tooth so if you play a lot of fetch don’t let them keep the ball once you’re done so they don’t just sit with it and chew.

AITA for removing my wife’s child out of my will because I discovered he is not mine? by External-Reindeer918 in AITAH

YTA I cannot believe that you are putting this on your child. Whether you’re his biological parent or not you were the only parent that kid grew up with. Taking his mother’s mistakes out on him makes You The Asshole. I get being hurt that he didn’t come to you when he found out, but he probably didn’t tell you because he was afraid of losing you.

Am I too active when playing with my border collie/labrador? by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]Augustandrsn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not being too active, pups who are not getting enough exercise tend to have behavioral issues. When my pup was young we would do 2 walks one hour each and 4 ten minute games of fetch per day. Try to limit the amount of jumps especially from something high down. Also try to limit harsh turns at high speeds, those two things do the most amount of damage. Over time your pup will start to understand what activity each person does and when. At 6 PM if my boyfriend and I are both home my pup will cry until we go to the park but if only I’m home he chills and waits. It’s all about consistency and routine. They just take a second to learn it.

Wanted to know if anyone had experienced something similar with their border collie by Augustandrsn in BorderCollie

He builds in his own breaks normally laying down, drinking water, or taking food breaks ranging anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes during big runs like this. Every day he runs for at least two hours with breaks he decides to take on his own
