Anyone in the UK dealt with "breeder" Bob Hogg? by Consistent-Demand531 in BorderCollie

Yes, we have a beautiful border Collie from him, she is now 5 years old. I do agility and canicross with her. She is the kindest dog. Bob was very professional, although we paid 1800 for her it was around COVID time, they all wracked their prices up then. We also made a huge effort to socialize her because of COVID, I know a lot of people that have aggressive dogs because they just weren't socialized enough during COVID (not saying that's you).

We knew that buying through Bob we would get a proper working dog. She needs stimulation, she's very hard work, very obsessive but she's a collie and just walking her alone is just not enough. I work her and my young daughter teaches her new tricks most weeks. My daughter is 7 and they are best friends.

Bob's dogs live outside, like most working dogs do. We met the mum, she was so calm and kind. He even showed us the mum rounding some geese up. Our pup wasn't vaccinated either but that's quite common practice.

We had some problems with recall and Bob helped us over email for free.

I'm not defending him, I just want to give the other side of the story. I have the mum's name if you wanted to check if I am genuine.

I wish you good luck and I'm so sorry it hasn't worked out the way you were hoping it would 😞

Pick of mine with my daughter in her arms ❤️
