    ^^

    No thanks- I looked into a Jack Russell when I was looking for a smaller dog as a companion for my Golden (who is the least aggressive dog that ever lived)- a male terrier would not have been a good choice as they tend not to get along with other male dogs in the household- I would consider one as an 'only' dog though.

    BTW- if you're really serious about a border collie, I hope you remember what your previous one was like- they (along with the very similar Australian shepherd, which I also considered for a while- depending on their markings, good ones are 20K for an solid-colored one to 35K for a desirable 'Blue Merle'- I would imagine border collies to be in the same range) are the about the most demanding dogs as far as owner attention goes- they need more than just a bit of play-time or a few minutes chasing your kids around- they need a 'job' and will go stir-crazy without a constant outlet for their energy (they're very prone to separation anxiety and destroying your house when you're away).

    I know you had one before, but do you have the room for one now? It seems like you'd want to be in a rural area to give one a happy life.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Gotta spend money to make money, boys- you'll need to invest in a champion pair first, then show them (and win) in Thailand to establish credibility before anyone will want one- how's your 'prancing'? You gotta prance in that show ring.

    We are in the mountains and I had one as mentioned for 18 years and i lived on farms for years with others....really....seperation anxiety ....do I need to schedule a counselling session for them ? When we lived in town, she never got stir crazy and she never dug a hole in her life...nor ate the sofa

    She was the least demanding of any dog I have ever seen.

    Well, she sounds like a great dog, but certainly not typical for her breed.

    As far as 'separation anxiety' goes, it's not uncommon- I didn't make it up.

    Odd looking thing.

    They all look like that for five minutes after you give 'em a bath and brush them- sometimes my golden goes a whole day before finding some mud to roll in.

    So she had a job- that's what a border collie needs- that was the point I was making- I didn't think I'd have time for such an active dog, so I looked at other breeds- I think they're terrific dogs, but one wasn't for me.

    For 7 years in remote stations in the NT I had a weird pair of pups.

    Brother and sister. He was the runt of the litter, a Kelpie heeler cross, which as the locals said, "was a Kangaroo dog". Red and gold, thick as shit. But as powerful as all buggery.

    The sister was all Blue. Stocky plump, but clever.

    We bought them as pups in Cairns and then we went bush in NT.

    With in days they'd escaped the yard.

    With in weeks they were swimming for hours in the billabong.

    Crocs? Freshies yes there were.

    Chasing feral donkeys every day? Yes, they did.

    It all went mad.

    I loved those bloody dogs.

    We moved from Minyerri to Yarralin.

    Within a year we had the two fittest dogs in Australia (quote the vet from Katherine).

    They were gone at dawn back at dusk. Chasing, running, swimming creating havoc.

    Then the shit hit the fan!

    Well, it sounds like she had fields to run around in and animals/kids to chase- it's in their blood.

    I saw one herd about eight kids into a tight group on a beach in New York once- it was amazing.

    I want an Irish Wolf Hound but I think I'm going to have to bring it in.

    Be fun just to see the look on a Thai persons face as they turn the corner and are looking the dog straight in the eye.
