It's tough to answer this with out knowing how much physical and mental exersize she is getting.

thank you i'll check it out right now

I'm still having trouble finding any half decent books on their history etc I have no trouble finding other breeds history and very good books

And I still check this and other forums I'm a member on a couple of times a day even though barely anyone posts any more on forums! Haha

Loves the beach. But doesn't care for the water

i dont think a day goes by where im not googling border collie reviews and informations or watching youtube videos (i've watched dogs101 border collies more times then i can count), reading footrot flats things or re reading my border collie books!

thank you amc i will look into them asap and purchase them

Unfortunately I don't have social media , so can only purchase off sites like ebay, thanks anyway

The simple answer and reply is just get your dog the best food you can afford :-) its like your own diet you can survive on take away every day but you would feel horrible.

Well done for adopting . Imo you've got the bc In her best years! When they are younger they don't stop! As far as chasing that's prey drive and it was obviously never nurtured. It's possible to get it back with food based reward . But it would require a lot of effort and training. Imo you should just spend your time doing things with your dog she likes now. Sounds like long walks makes her happy so she can relax and chill out with you :-)

he is bored, a walk for one hour a day isnt enough. he needs mental stimulation more then anything else. i hike with my 7 year old bc for 3 hours a day and it isnt enough i need to play games with him. ball throwing tricks etc

i am so obsessed i regularly watch you tube videos that i've watched i think over 1000 times like dogs 101 border collie and brooklins corner border collie etc

at the moment im feeding taste of the wild topped off with high quality tinned food and of course butcher scraps

still wanting to get more books guys if u guys can give links or titles so i can buy them that would be good

I prefer to feed mine orijen when money is tight I go taste of the wild
