I have been asked to put out some feelers for rehoming a black & white border collie bitch who is a failed sheepdog.  I think she would work a small flock quite nicely but is not suited to the large numbers she is being asked to work.  She is quite obedient, in good health and about 4 years old.  She currently lives outdoors but is allowed in occassionally and is always clean.

Please email me for more info

She is in Somerset/Devon

I would love her but have 3 boys one of which is a collie that is scared of sheep and it may cause a problem

[woollyval]

Would she be suitable for the bloke I mentioned to you on Sunday....90% pet and companion 10% helping shift his cattle?

[Freddiesfarm]

She works when she wants to - might be suitable.  Worth getting him to call me

[horsemadmummy]

have pmd you

[Freddiesfarm]

This is the pretty little girlie.....

[doganjo]

I suspect the 'works when she wants to' attitude is a training issue rather than a temperament one.  She looks lovely, hope HMM has found her forever home for you.

[shetlandpaul]

have you tried border collie rescue.

[Rosemary]

She's lovely

i would have her in a heartbeat as she is just what we are looking for (small flock of 7 sheep) but we are in Fife.  If there was a way she could come her, then put us down as a definate "yes"

[Hermit]

That would be an excellent cattle dog. The traditional cattle collies have white faces as the cows are more frightened of them!

[faith0504]

HERMIT, why are cattle more frightened of white faces? 

[Hermit]

Have not a clue Faith, just one of those farming sayings like good sheepdogs have black roofed mouths . Strange but true. I suppose generations of farmers find out these things.

[robert waddell]

i have an almost white faced pup(dog) only one ear (inside)is black only just started running about

[Freddiesfarm]

Sheep farmers normally won't touch white faced dogs.  Please put the word out about this little girlie she is really sweet and would suit a country life with small scale farming.
