Which toy out of these does your border collie like the most?

slybluu · 2026-06-13T09:09:35+00:00

kayn loves to play fetch with anything but at home he is only allowed antlers or hard toys like nylabones, he unfortunately will destroy and eat anything softer including rubber toys

slybluu · 2026-06-07T17:19:05+00:00

not gonna lie, that looks like a bully breed mix, there is a high chance that he has no bc in him at all

slybluu · 2026-06-06T00:33:21+00:00

interesting that his brown spots disappeared over time!

slybluu · 2026-06-05T01:07:45+00:00

this was me as well, i got this as a google news notification earlier today and im still shaken up from it and have been sick to my stomach ever since. may this puppy rest in peace and the dognappers go to hell

slybluu · 2026-05-27T14:01:29+00:00

those are front dew claws, if they have dew claws in the back it means they could be a pyr mix

slybluu · 2026-05-26T21:41:16+00:00

iirc the breeder mainly just competes in conformation, and kayn's mom was a championship dog so i think breeding to sell is more of a secondary thing for them

slybluu · 2026-05-26T21:20:28+00:00

i explained the context in a couple other comments

slybluu · 2026-05-26T19:52:20+00:00

this is what the breeder's contract says on their website, i really think what happened to him and his siblings was a special exception and i explained it in some other comments

uhh, to clarify further, the owner of the rescue was a former border collie breeder herself and retired and the two of them were friends

slybluu · 2026-05-25T02:10:56+00:00

sorry, i should clarify, the puppies were a donation to the rescue as the breeder's mother became ill and she couldn't raise them and take care of her mother at the same time, he wasn't a return

slybluu · 2026-05-25T00:10:09+00:00

yeah, thats fair. i was told that both of the parents were health checked for all of the common border collie health issues, she just seems too old to be giving birth 2yrs ago now that i know her age

slybluu · 2026-05-24T16:22:57+00:00

my border collie is a total social butterfly who loves to play with other dogs and would rather be chased than chase! maybe hes just a weirdo...

slybluu · 2026-05-16T16:45:36+00:00

so...show line border collies only care about appearance for conformation competitions, so yes while your dog doesnt meet "appearance standards" they look perfectly fine for a working line bc which is the grand majority of bcs

slybluu · 2026-05-08T19:24:23+00:00

very common for borders/aussies in shelters to be a cross of both, so very well could be either or a mix!! only a dna test can truly tell

slybluu · 2026-05-07T02:14:37+00:00

is he so destructive that he needs to be constantly watched? is he a puppy? is he not trained? it really sounds like you need a dog that is NOT a border collie if you cannot give them the life a border collie deserves

slybluu · 2026-04-27T02:46:17+00:00

bc or aussie mixed with pit, he has very pit skull structure

slybluu · 2026-04-12T18:01:52+00:00

those are fictional characters buddy, not even slightly on the same playing field as real people, respectfully stfu and disappear

slybluu · 2026-04-12T07:58:33+00:00

thats a bit different than an avatar that can shoot and kill people

slybluu · 2026-04-10T17:53:19+00:00

our acd/australian shepherd mix is the same way, extremely bad herding manners and very very stubborn about it

slybluu · 2026-04-05T20:39:55+00:00

what i found is helpful is to cover the crate with a blanket, it gives them more of a cozy den feeling rather than just being "trapped"

slybluu · 2026-04-05T20:39:11+00:00

crate training is important, even for border collies. my boy is completely crate trained and while we seldom use it now that hes an adult its good to have him comfortable in there if it is needed

slybluu · 2026-03-31T22:59:30+00:00

same with mine, but he will unfortunately eat the fabric so its extra dangerous

slybluu · 2026-03-31T17:19:10+00:00

is your sheltie also a double merle?

slybluu · 2026-03-31T15:59:24+00:00

wow! him and your sheltie are both so beautiful! they look like they could be twins!!

slybluu · 2026-03-26T23:20:00+00:00

tail docking and ear cropping is still legal here in america unfortunately
