Tim Kelly Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Enjoy your new companion. If you're really lucky and the dog absolutely "gets it", you'll be going fishing even more frequently in the future, just to keep the dog happy. That's my excuse anyway. 1 Quote

You won't be disappointed. Border collies are great. Their personalities are probably the closest to humans I've seen in dogs. I'd say the biggest difference between golden retrievers and border collies is border collies can be pretty intense and golden retrievers are generally more laid back. There's definitely exceptions though. While our female is very intense and loves working, our male is one of the laziest dogs I've ever seen, he sleeps and lays around 24/7 and he's only 3 years old!

quanjig Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Give that dog a purpose, they are very driven and very, very smart! Training will be a must with large areas to run! Cute as a button tho, good luck and we need more pics when you get her home!! Quote
