You must be kept very busy with those three. Collies are so active and clever they need a lot of excercise and brain work!
We have only got Tiber our German Shepherd Dog. He is enough work for us :)

Aww Starlight, Cassie was gorgeous :D, of course she counts!, would be hypocritical if she didnt hehe, considering Benji is Collie x Retriever
i lose the grey on her eyebrows, i always think they look more adorable when they get older :)

He was 15 Nearly 16, the thing is though, since i was only 10, i don't have as much strong memories, as i do with the current ones, which is a shame, so it seems Ages ago, but i dont think it seems long ago for my parents&Brothers

I was 18 I think. I'm glad I was older to be honest, it was me who mad the decision to have her PTS, I was with her too. Mum couldnt handle it.

We had a collie when I was a kid, he died when I was about 10 and I don't have many memories of him and the strongest one is the day he was PTS (me and mum were saying goodbye to him, he was in my dads arms).

Meg is very cute :D I'm not allowed to have a dog. The last dog I had was when I was 5 and I used to ride her but that was like seven years ago :(

Beautiful all of them :)

I must say collies are the only breed I can find a bit daunting, I had a rather scary experience as a child when one tried to attack me. She was a farm dog I'd known for some time wasn't child friendly, so I always avoided her knowing this, yet she happened to be off the lead when I went one day. She wasn't a nasty dog at all, though I don't know why she hated children so much. Luckily as I've grown older I've been able to appreciate all dogs, I suppose that image still sticks with me a bit.

But I'd happily have a cuddle with one if I know its friendly :D x

Thats a shame :(
Collie's are one of the only breeds i feel comfortable with, because of how cuddly all ours are :(

Aww I love collies, my fav breed:) georgeous looking dogs and super smart too. Mine runs rings around me and can play me like a violin - she's gotten me well trained!


This is Meg, the apple of her mummy's eye and she knows it!!

I adore my collie, but she can admittedly be very hard work at times- they're a very demanding sort of dog, with rather weired traits I've found. Meg's 2 oddest traits would have to be that she's terrified of rabbits and rodents, and she's the only collie I have ever known to be allergic to grass. Anyone else's gotten weired traits or is it just mine:mad::confused:

Aww your Meg is gorgeous too! Border Collies do all have funny traits. Our Meg is terrified of kids on bikes & Beth hates sneezing. Benji being a collie cross doesn't seem to have any funny traits.
This is my favourite pic of Meg

This is Sam RIP. He was the most amazing dog. We bought him just a few weeks after getting married as my hubby had always wanted a collie.
