I’m looking for a site where I can find good deals on dog beds/crate mats. Between two puppies and an adult border collie, we need some beds for them, and moneys a bit tight. I’ve looked at Foster and Smith, petco and petsmart online, and they don’t really have any good ‘deals’, so if you [...]

My dogs are allowed on the furniture and whenever say he wakes up from a nap on the bed he’ll put his front paws on the ground first and then stretch his back legs out onto the bed and drag himself off. It sort of looks like he’s waiting for someone to grab his back [...]

I am looking for a new dog for my mothers farm. Because we have lots of small animals, chickens, ducks, and cats, it’s really hard to find a dog breed that will fit in. We already have a beagle and a border collie, and are looking for something new. They are getting older and we [...]

Going to visit a litter of beagle pups on Monday and want to know what other beagle owners think. I’d like to hear from anyone who has a beagle and a cat! What are the pro’s and cons of the breed? I have a 4 year old daughter who is going to be over the [...]

well we are moving to a new big house soon and i’ve always wanted a dog. We are going to be in the perfect area to finally get my doggy surrounded by countryside and forests, brilliant for walking and all within 5 miles. But basically, my mum doesn’t want it to be let around all [...]

I have 3 dogs and no one to run with. I’d like to work with one of our dogs and train one to run with. Is there some kind of magic chart available that says what dogs run the best or what needs the dog may have? Hope this question makes sense. LOL. I would [...]

My four year chocolate lab and red white border collie everytime we come back from the off leash dog park they throw up thier food. I have been adding 4 packets of McCauley’s Hydrolyte which is supposed to be for horses but my vet told me can be used on dogs.

It cant be a austrailian shepard or border collie because they arent big enough to guard livestock from coyotes.

I always wondered. Most dog breeds seem to be one or two colors and patterns and that’s it. My guess is border collie, since I recently found out they can practically be any color imaginable. Is there any breed that has more coloring options than border collies?

I have a 10 month old border collie who pulls so much on the leash he starts to choke and hurt himself. So I went out and bought the Halti in size 2. But he doesn’t like and paws at it, he also manages to slip it over his nose and into his mouth. So [...]

my trainer says he is just a puppy and he is a defensive dog, not aggressive, but it is really annoying, and everyone at the dog park probably hates my puppy. He will be having a great time running and playing with other dogs, and then there will be one that he just will bark [...]

I’m writing a story about a dog who was abused early in life, moved to different homes and was sent back to the shelter many times, and is finally adopted by a ‘mountain rescue team’ and is trained to search for people who are in danger. What dog breed is common for that job? Would [...]

Would it be a bad idea to get a memory foam bed if I have a cat? She normally sleeps on my bed now and so does my border collie when I’m not home or not using it. Are they durable or is my cat sinking her claws into it when she’s trying to get [...]

he is a lab and border collie mix. he’s very excited and wild, but we think he would really enjoy and benefit from a trip to the dog park. the only problem is is that he’s never been off leash and "let loose". also, i am not sure he will come back to me. what [...]
