[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1146842, member: 9933"] I agree. Never thought I would do it either. The pup was free, but by the time he was a year old, he was such a handful, I either needed help to learn to control and use his energy, or he was going to need a new home. These dogs can be extremely neurotic and obsessive. If they don't get to do what they are bred to do, they will find something to do. Like I said, I had other Border Collies that were what is usually referred to as pet quality. They were very different from this dog. He needed a job, and I was not qualified to train him. Gators Rule mentioned he would only buy a horse with "Power steering" and they don't come cheap either, so I figured he might be willing to pay the price. If not, be warned, that a dog bred solely as a stock dog is not an easy animal to live with unless you know what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
