You were so fortunate to have Jake in your life for so long. We lost our angel rescue Bella after 15 years and we miss her so. We adopted Clay our big boy one year old BC 4 months ago and he's doing his best to fill the hole in our hearts. He is such a goofball! We can't imagine life without a Border Collie.

I’m on my second border collie as well. There’s no breed like em that I’ve experienced? I think I’ll stick with border collies for life?

hornetgags I'm so sorry I wish that would never happen to pets because I've lost so many it's unbelievable I lost 3 rabbits and 6 fish and I don't want my dog to go ever.

Indeed, the loss. Why does a sea turtle live to be 200 and my sweet Nahla, her life cut short by aggressive lymphoma. Not even 5 yet. Such a tragic end to man's best friend.

my family is in full agreement with you....we lost our beloved "son" Jack eight months ago....we talk and cry about him frequently.

Love the Border Collies the most. Did not register mine with the AKC because they demand certain standards-like docking tails and cropping ears for show purposes-even when your dog is not a show dog. They want to change your breed's original standards. I stuck with the NASDS and ABCCA instead. I know owners of Aussie's who were told that to register their dogs with them they had to dock their tails. Many have short stubby tails like the Pembroke Corgis, but that's after docking tbeir tails for so long.I'm glad my niece and nephew didn't dock and crop their G.D. Thor. and dock a neighbour's Welsh Cardigan Corgi's tail! The white-tipped tail serves as a flag for sheep-and cow-farmers my BC's former owner, a farmer/her who trained his dogs to herd sheep and cows.

Spell dog backward

Loved my Nahla.. she was abandoned to a friend of ours and by God's grace I had been looking for a young purebred. She was not quite 1 year old when we got her. At first we thought she might be too much for us, but she was just right. Our sweet Nahla... Her life cut short from aggressive lymphoma, not even 5 years old yet. Looked much like the mom in this video. I'm gonna miss her.

I'm glad they're rescues. I was lucky to get my first Aussie/BC mix at a small pet store in Chamblee that sold rescues for a small price. They were not allowed to sell puppy milk or expensive pups like Petland does and I wasn't familiar with adopting a dog at Pet smart yet. I bought her, went to my college class, and returned for her before the store closed. Walking home with her, I tried to come up with a name. My dad didn't want another dog as we'd already lost Bootsie, Smokey, Tiny, Gerda, and Matthew. None were my dogs. I decided to go upstairs and watch a "Star Trek" rerun. I was crying as I was not going to return her. This little 6 week old girl gave me little kisses and cheeed me up and since the episode was about an empath named Gem, that's what I decided to name her. My dad and mother thought I was going to name her Jim-like Spock did. I quoted Dr. McCoy, " I'm not going to call her ' hey you' and spelt her name. Over time, he learned to love her and when I transferred to BFF, he'd wait for me while I went to register and pay for my classes and walk her around the student centre. One day, he said he talked to a John Owen (The Pres.of the college then) who said I'd dropped a pan of tostitoes in the Chow Hall line and stepped out of my boot into a snowy step going up the Price Memorial steps to get my pay check. He said he also met one of my art teachers, a Bob Owens who told everyone he met my dad and dog on a walk. I think my face must've turned red, but I'm glad their meeting was productive since my art teacher was also a dog lover and had 2 GSDs-Gerda was one-and my art ed./weaving teacher, Tommy Scanlon also had a GSD named Weben, German to weave. My Gem lived 13 years l, past my dad's death in '84. I miss her, but knew she wouldn't mind if I got another dog, a pure BC, who let me know what her name was not going to be in '92.

You must be like the energizer bunny.

cst dogs BCs really do love to play :)

I want to buy border how can i imoprt can you give me contact details i am from india

I feel you! Our beloved Holly died earlier this year at the age of 15. It is never easy to lose a companion like this.

That makes two if us Katelyn... My BooBoo just had his 14th, I thank God every night for giving me another day with my precious Boy!!! He is still doing well, but i know his time is getting short...brings tears to my eyes as i write this.... Love them every day, as we never know when that last one comes....❤❤❤

I too had an Aussie/BC mix named Gem. She lived from '79-'92 and was my first dog. She was very empathic and would go to whoever was sad and try to cheer up anyone who was sad or unsettled for some reason. She was often successful, especially with me, my parents, and my niece. When she died, I was so saddened. I happened to get in touch with a farmer/vet who's BC bitch just had pups and went to see him-with help from a college friend. I chose a 6 wk.olf pup and was going to name her T'Ami but she hated the name, so I named her Tess Siobhan. She lived 16.2 yrs! Her son, JackBNimble, lived 15.8 yrs.and he had a girlfriend, LittleBoPeep, and her cousin, Gypsy Rose Lee, live with me as well. All smart dogs these sheepdogs and now they're all gone. I hope to get another BC girl- or boy-soon.

It's very difficult. On Easter Sunday, my Australian Shepherd named Nikki passed away at 15 years old. A day has not gone by that I've not cried my eyes out. I miss her so much. I hope your doggie is doing well. The hardest part of loving a dog or cat is when they pass away, but the hard part is worth all the good parts, just love them always and treat them with compassion.

Yeah! It also happens so fast everytime! :)

AMEN TO THAT.... E-V-E-R!!!! My BooBoo turned 14 on the 31st of August, 2019, and still doing well!! He literally is my life!! And he really is the BEST DOG EVER!!!❤❤❤❤

They are so soft, especially in the neck and ears... And at 1 their energy level in the morning is off the charts.... Look it's a torpedo with fur on it....

Yorrala Programs I'm getting a big dog like a german sheperd.

Karen Cruz German Shepherds are quite smart too - they're probably easier to live with than a BC.

Cat lovers.

Cat lovers are odd.

kamila wk I know right. they so beautiful kamila

kamila wk Haha yeah probably

The music spoils it for me.
