I am looking for a papillon, but before i get one i wanna know a couple of things…?

1) Do the papillons shed alot and if they do how do i conrol it?
2) Are the papillons “yippy” like do they bark alot?
3) How well do they get along with other dogs?

smooth collie questions:?

1) how are they in terms of training and energy, as well as destruction when bored, compared to the rough collie?

2) are smooth collies “rare”? i know that they compete in agility and stuff so they’re out there, but how difficult are they to find from breeders?

i love the rough collie but i’m partial to shorter hair and i want a dog with higher energy levels than the average rough collie, with more drive, too. but i love the calm temperament of the rough. i’ve read that smooths can be snappy and more shy, as well as more destructive.
any experienced owners out there? thanks.

Is a rough collie a good first dog?

I’ve never owned a dog before (I’ve had plenty of cats and have experience walking my neighbour’s greyhound), but when we move house soon, I’d like to buy one at last. I feel it’s a good chance for me to get more exercise taking care of something that needs walking often, and I love rough collies. So would this be a good choice for a first dog?
I’m 19, live with my mother and I’m unemployed. I also have no children and my only other pets are goldfish.

What are some general guidelines to find a good breeder?

I’m not looking at getting a dog now, but rather in the future – however, I’ve got some great contacts that may not be here in a few years (or I may not) so I figured I would ask now.

My next dog I would love to be from a breeder, as I want a bit more of a guarantee in what I’m looking for. I know it will be either an Aussie or a Rough Collie, and I’m looking more seriously at a Rough Collie as I think it would be a better choice to begin with – I’m interested in becoming involved in agility and I’m very much a beginner, so I would want a more patient, and less intense dog to work with starting out.

We had Collies as a child and I’ve had Aussies before, so I do know what to expect from both breeds; I have also done independent research.

Anyhow, I know how to sort a breeder out theoretically – as far as health testing goes and the like. However, I know it’s very common for breeds like Rough Collies to have weak temperaments, and after owning a severely fearful dog, it is NOT something I want to deal with.

There aren’t (to my knowledge) many breeders around the NE KS area, where I am from, so I may have to look elsewhere in the country. Even if I were to meet the parents personally, how would I know the the puppy would have a strong, stable temperament? I’m sure that those who know different breeders well would know who produces the best dogs in that regard – is that something I could find out by contacting a member of the breed club?

Thanks for any helpful answers 🙂
I actually already have two rescue dogs – they’re great, but it’s impossible to find a Collie puppy in a rescue/shelter and temperament is far too important to me.
Thanks for the advice, Rayven, I’ll look into it. From what I understand, working Collies are few and far between, but I could be wrong. I’m not concerned about handling a high-drive or high-energy dog, though I do know that Collies in general aren’t quite as high-energy as an Aussie would be.

Hopefully UHave2Be will stumble upon this question as well.

rough/smooth collie pros and mainly cons?

hi, we’re getting a dog soon and our family’s deciding between a labrador and a rough collie, most likely, unless we can find smooth collies.
so what are some cons, for those who have had experience? i’m aware of the shedding and grooming and barking, but what about others? of course, we’ll be buying from a reliable breeder so bad breeding won’t be a problem, i hope.

and how about a comparison between collies and labs? i know they’re completely different dogs, not even in the same group, but it’s what we’ve narrowed our search down to.

any opinions/experience would be extremely appreciated, and a suggestion to what other breeds might suit us would be very nice, too! 🙂 we live in a single house, exercise shouldn’t be a problem, but i’m pretty sure we can’t keep up with a border collie or an alaskan malamute’s demands for exercise. we have people home all day, and the dog will live indoors. we’ll be getting a puppy, [unless we find a suitable dog for us at the animal shelter to adopt (: ] but the MAIN caretakers won’t be home all hours of the day. i’m looking for a dog with endurance, since i run long distance and i love to bike and walk endlessly. this doesn’t happen every day, though. the less shedding, the better. i know rough collies will shed quite a bit, but most of it should come out in the brush and research tells me that when well groomed, they actually shed just as much as any other average dog.
we have lots of valuables easily knocked over around the house, which is why we’re hesitant on getting those bouncy labrador puppies. i’m considering the rough collie just for that reason. [and of course many others, but that’s the one holding us back from the lab] and yes, i know that temperaments vary between individuals.

thanks, all.

Rough Collie or Golden Retriever?

I used to have a Labrador when I was younger. Then he died out of old age (15 years old). Now I’m thinking of getting another dog. I’ve narrowed down my options to two. Rough Collie, or Golden Retriever.

I know the responsibilities of owning a dog. I know they both shed a lot, but I don’t mind. I will spend time with my dog regularly exercising him/her physically and mentally. I know the basics of dog training but I don’t follow the “dominance theory”/”Pack leader theory”.

What I need is second opinions because I can’t make up my mind. You can tell me whatever you think I’m missing out on, but please spare the dominance stuff because I don’t believe in it. Thanks

breeding my rough collie?

before i go into specifics i want it known that i was a breeder for 15 and a half yrs so i know what i am doing if i decide to.
I used to breed shelties and some of the owners who had my pups have phoned me up once again asking do i have any more litters expected. I even recieved a call from someone who bought one 12yrs ago and has just passed away. I told them i gave it up 2 yrs ago and only have Rough Collies that i do not breed. But as soon as i mentioned about my gorgeous tri (lady of course) They begged me for one of hers. All of them said that i if i decide to breed again, they want one of her pups because she is of sound temperament and gorgeous markings.
Yes i would only breed tri to tri if i was going to do it but i don’t know whether to or not.
I gave it up because i started a family of my own, i would love to breed again and keep another from the litter but should i?
these people recieved lifetime help when needed about their dogs and now they know i have collies instead of
shelties they were more than happy to say ‘put me down on your list if you breed’
should i do it or should i call them and let them down??
plus for the fact i am the only person in my area/district with Rough Collies, and it would be great to see more of them instead of just me.
KAREN:: I am in UK so i don’t know where you are to have a pup. I read up on your profile and was completely taken back by the name you called one of your dogs, ‘Skye’ I was going to call Lady that before my kids chose her name. Ironic?

Rough Collies as herding dogs? And other breeds?

I was wondering if there is anyone on here that has ever used a rough collie as a herding dog for sheep or goats? I am curious about the breed,and I’m thinking of purchasing one and training it to herd. I have noticed that they are not very popular as herding dogs anymore,and I was wondering why?

I have a few other questions to anyone out there with experience.

What breeds have you used for herding what animals?
Why did you choose them?
What do you think makes them good dogs for herding?
What characteristics did you notice in your breed? (i.e. the border collie‘s use of the eye for herding)
Would you ever consider using another breed,or is this “your” breed?
What kind of herding did they do, like did they just move animals from one stall to another, or one pasture do another, or what?
What process did you go through to train it,and was it extremely difficult?
Your welcome to share any other info about your dog. I want to get started in herding mainly with sheep, and I have some land. I have not puchased the animals yet,but I will soon. I’m trying to learn as much as possible
before I do. Thanks!

IN YOUR OPINION! What breed has a better temperament?

Lab or a collie

Do you let your dog sit on the couch?

We are so undecided about this but need to make a decision fast before our puppy claims the couch as her own.

She is a Rough Collie and will shed heavily 2X a year.

I just don’t know if we should not allow her on the couch. I know that when I have gone to friends homes who let their dogs on the couch I leave full of hair. I would hate to do that to my guests.

Any Suggestions of what to do? Do you let your dogs on the couch? How do you control the dog hair if you do?

How come my puppy isn’t potty trained yet?

She is a Jack Russell, Border Collie mix. We have had her for a month and like 1 week and she is about 3 months and a week old. We are not paper training her she has a kennel but when she is in the house she goes in the house. What should we do. Her name is Sasha. Thanks!

How to tell if my dog will have a rough or smooth coat?

My pup is 5 weeks old, the mother is a black and white collie and has a medium coat and the father is a blue merle collie and has a rough coat. I’ve only seen a picture of this pup and I was wondering if anyone knew how to tell if your dogs coat will be rough or smooth? And what causes smooth coats?

Why do these amazing creatures have such a tragic life span?

Dogs are amazing and it seems like such a shame their lives are so short. Do you think we’ll ever figure out how to keep them healthier and increase their life spans?

How long is a healthy life span for Manx Cats?

I had a manx cat who passed away overnight last night. She was about 4 years old. Is this a normal life span for this type of feline? She was very healthy, used to be an indoor/outdoor cat but had been an indoor cat for about a year and a half. She was also perfectly fine yesterday.

People care more about animals than other humans?

This disturbs and annoys me to the core. They would rather save a dog whose life span is maybe 15 years than another human. Why???
And an animal will devour you if hungry. They dont care
There are helpless humans as well. You are foolish to say that.

How high does my English Mastiffs bowl need to be?

Thanks!

Golden Retriever vs Rough Collie? Help?

Hi all,
I am moving into a basement suite soon and am getting another dog. Currently I own a Pomeranian who is 2 years old and she is playful and gets along great with dogs of all other sizes, including my Aunt’s 100lbs German Shepherd! I am struggling on deciding on which breed I should get. I’ve fallen in love with the Rough Collie and the Golden Retriever. The basement suite has a large/medium yard and a huge park which is a 5 minute walk away. I don’t mind shedding at all. I like how both breeds are intelligent and eager to please/easy to train/potty train. I do love the retriever, and how family friendly it is. However I dislike how clingy and the in-your-face personality this dog *can* have. But I absolutely adore Goldens and growing up I always wanted one but wasn’t allowed a big dog, so I got my Pomeranian. Now I do love the patient temperament of the Golden. I love how easily this breed will be able to get along with my Pom and other future pets. I do not like how the dog easily welcomes strangers, if I were ever in danger, I’d like the breed I choose to let me know. The Collie: I love this dog. It’s my ultimate dream dog. I love how calm and loyal this dog can be. I like how this dog will also be ready to play whenever you want to, and how it has an off switch. Also, how this dog is not so clingy. The only thing I dislike about the Rough Collie is how barky it may get. All in all I love both breeds equally. I just can’t make up my mind! Both fit my lifestyle, and both are great overall! Which one should I choose and why?

PS I will be getting a male dog, and getting him as a puppy.

What are some good ways to teach dogs to swim?

I have a 5 year old beagle and I want to teach her to swim. I’ve read about how to teach dogs to swim, but I want to see what other people do. What’s the best way that you know to teach dogs to swim?
Also, I would never, ever make her do this if she doesn’t want to.
Bob-
Actually, some dogs don’t know how to swim. They aren’t all natural-born swimmers. Bailey isn’t! 😉
I’ll definitely get her a life jacket. I don’t want to take any chances!

Any similar breeds to Sheltie collies? (10pts awarded asap!)?

I love everything about Sheltie collies, the size, the temperament, the looks. Everything. But they are really uncommon in my area, in shelters and breeders.

Are there any dogs similar to the Sheltie (in size and temperament)? Standard Collies are uncommon here as well. Please don’t recommend an Australian Shepherd, we are aware of those 🙂

Thanks!

Has anyone here had experience with AKITA dogs?

My mum and I are considering this breed of dog.

We have a cat – would the dog ( if we got it as a puppy ) learn to tolerate them?

And how hard would it be to train this type of dog? We have time but not LOADS of time, you know?

Exercise would not be a problem – we’d be able to exercise it lots. Also, would it be able to be left alone for maybe an hour at a time and not bark or rip the place apart?

Is training hard? Please don’t give me webistes, but actual experience.

Thanks!!!

Rough Collie questions?

After hours of research my brother has decided he would like a rough collie. I have researched them but would like to double check on a few things
1. How much exercise do they need daily? (we can provide whatever needed, have a large yard and want to do agility and flyball)
2. They need no pro grooming right?
3. Are they good with small children?
4. Are they eager to please and trainable?
5. When socialised from an early age with cats are they good with them?

Thanks a bunch 🙂

how can i tell if my border collie is pure bred?

i have a 16 week old border collie. i believe he is purebred because i know the “father” is purebred… but unfortunately the “father” was less than a year old when is fathered. how old does a dog have to be to reproduce? are there any marking which identify a purebred border collie or a mix?

About how long does the average dog live?

It’s totally random, but I was wondering about how long is the average dog’s life. I have a medium size, brown Chow. I got him as a Christmas present when I was in the 3rd grade. I’m a junior in college now and he’s still around. He has a touch of arthritis, but other than that he’s in good health. So, I was wondering just how long do dogs live?

Doesn’t it make more sense that it would actually just reinforce the behavior through negative reinforcement?

I’m looking for any video games for the PS3 or Wii that lets you control a REALISTIC animal. So far I have Ecco the Dolphin for PS2, Dog’s Life for PS2, WolfQuest for PC, and Jaws for PS2. Are there any other games similar to these? I’m not intersted in Animal Crossing, since I wouldn’t actually call that realistic.

What are some good tasks and job to give herding dogs (like Rough or Smooth Collies) when you live in the city?

Herding dogs are meant to, well, herd. I’m contemplating getting a smooth / rough collie and I live in Chicago – and I want to know what are some interesting jobs or tasks that you can give a city-dwelling collie? Any thoughts? Collies are smart, but get bored with repetitive tricks, and I want to tap into a collie‘s full potential – but I need creative ideas on how to tap into that in the city. Any thoughts?

What are your thoughts on owning a Rough Collie?

I’m not getting a dog right now (I really want to in the future), but if I did I would really love a rough collie. I was just wondering what you know/thought of them through experience (but I’d still like to hear even if you’ve never owned one)
here’s a picture of the dog I’m talking about http://www.thriftyfun.com/images/petguides/Rough-Collie300x254.jpg

What’s the biological reason dogs have a short life span?

Google this, you’ll find a sad story about a 6 year old boy and his departing irish wolfhound (or something). It’s all over the internet for some reason. While that comforting explanation is all very well, it doesn’t actually address the question.

I’m wondering why a dogs life cycle is so short compared to other mammals? What are the biological reasons? Faster metabolism ? Cells age faster>?

To people who say the “homosexual lifestyle” is being taught in schools?

I simply don’t understand what that means. I understand everyone has a different perspective on homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and all that, and I’m not asking anyone to agree or disagree with mine or anyone else’s opinion on it.

But last time I checked, I went to public school all my life, I’ve had teachers that ranged from openly homophobic (making gay jokes), to the silent homophobic, to the neutral/non-judgmental to those who simply didn’t believe in any sort of discrimination. When I took a sex-ed class, there was nothing saying to go ahead and be gay, the nature and science of it was talked about, but that was a very small topic compared to learning about STD’s, contraception, and how to best protect one-self (abstinence is the only safe sex).

The only thing I see teachers doing is not allowing students to pick on others because of their differences, and really would you like your kid being picked on for anything (this could be race, disability, etc…).
there was nobody telling anyone to be gay or to agree with it. All they were saying was to not make fun of anyone for any reason and if anything why not protect someone’s right from getting beaten up and being targeted. You do know some kids accused of being gay really aren’t, and that’s also homophobia.

Most people who disagree with being gay are Christians, and with that said, wasn’t it taught not to judge or be mean to anybody? So I really don’t see where people are getting this thing that “homosexuality” is being taught at our schools because it isn’t. Maybe not judging people is more like it.
And no I’m not getting into the same-sex marriage debate or whether or not you have to personally accept it or not, I’m simply talking about kids who bully and what all this “liberal agenda”, or “gay agenda” really means with this situation.
Hey, I don’t believe “homosexuality is taught”, but this is the mentality that (some) conservatives have. Don’t get it though.

Where can i get a cheap service dog id kit?

hi. i have depression and anxiety and am hopefully getting a dog to be used as a service dog. but i am not havin it professionally trained (dont worry, its perfectly legal. ive already looked into all that.) so i need to get my own identification cards and vest or bandana. i dont legally have to hav any of those, but it will provide me with a lot less hassle. unfortunately,the one place i found all the stuuf i need is quite expensive. it costs over $200 for everything. so anyways, anyone know a place I could get id stuff for cheaper?

can i teach my dog schutzhund?

I would like to teach him schutzhund but he has low confidence he will bark at the attacker but as soon as he is confrtonted he backs down he dosent like rough games either.
i also would like to do light weght pull and a liitle jogging with him. he is a seven year old bullmastiff x pitbull x rottweiler. he is about 90 pound,never been sick, has a clean bill of health and have tons of energy even after a walk. he dosent seem to be slowing down at all. I would like to build up his stamina not for fighting just so we can go on longer walks without him panting He will start panting after two short blocks but not too heavily. He never done these sports before so will this be safe for him? i also would like to use a spring pole and a weight vest. I want to have a dog thats in shape in case of a worst case scenario where he has to defend himself. I know there are alot of irresponsible dog owners out there but mine never bit anybody and hes good with small children and small animals.
i think he has low testosterone level because he never tried to mount another dog before. Here is a link to a video of him

What is the safest flea medication for Rough collies (MDR1 positive)?

My rough collie and Shetland sheepdog both have fleas and I am concerned as to what medications I can use on them. I understand that invermectin (along with several other medications), are not recommended for collies with the MDR1 mutation and can cause severe reactions. So, I was considering using Frontline or PetArmor instead because it does not contain invermectin, but have read some pretty negative reviews regarding dogs getting sick from the Frontline/Petarmor medication. Just worried and only want to use something safe for my dogs, but at the same time these fleas are getting the best of them!!! Any information regarding this would be helpful, but please only answer if you are an experienced collie owner or vet! Just trying to get more opinions….
