Hi all
I have free to good home 2 collies - one bitch and one dog.
Ok, here's the story, I inherited the collie bitch Mika when I moved in to the farm 18 month ago, she then had pup's last June to a neighbours collie dog (I had no idea the deed had been done or that they'd even been together until I was later informed)!!
Mika we believe to be about 5 years old, she is keen to work but unfortunately I have no idea what I'm doing so it's the blind leading the blind!
In all honesty I just do not have the time to devote to these dogs in training myself or them how to work correctly and with all best intentions over the past 18 month failed!
I take Mika out with me to round up sheep which she does a fantastic job at and most times I couldn't manage with out her, she seems to know what she's doing and I let her lead me which has worked - but she need so much more which I can't give her.
Loki - was born 16 June 2012 he is used to being round livestock but I haven't taken him out to work at all, he is a very sweet dog, calm and quiet.
I really need to find a home for these 2, they are currently living outside in kennels and I can't keep them much longer.
Please get in touch if you can help -
Thank you Rosie x
I forgot to say I'm near Dumfries

Damn, pity you are so far north. I could do with a dog to help. Will mention to my partner who is up Preston most of time he might be prepared to come north.
Have you any pictures?
-
Thanks for the reply. I do travel north every 2 weeks, I go down to J36 off the M6 if that's of any help?
I will get some photos tomorrow and put them up ;D

If you are unable to get them a new home, ring the collie rescue place http://bordercolliesneedinghomes.weebly.com/ (http://bordercolliesneedinghomes.weebly.com/)
they might be able to help

I successfully rehomed a foster dog by using agilitynet website. The 6 month dog would be quickly snapped up I would think if you are prepared to split them http://www.agilitynet.com/ (http://www.agilitynet.com/)
Good luck!

I can take both dogs on my farm in Devon if we could get a bit if a car chain going down country. I have 5 children and am in the middle of lambing! I've seen it done on the site before so maybe we sort it out again! Forever home assured with two other bc if we can!
Anyone willing to help be involved place posts and we will see if its possible?
Thanks

I can't help transport but I can offer an overnight stay for the dogs if needed? Might be too near HMM to be of any real use though??

I am in east yorkshire I can do a 100 mile stretch.

I am in Northumberland and if help is needed I could possibly either collect and bring down the country a bit or meet someone down here and bring further south
Depends when it is though as kidding is about to start here :fc:
