Me and my girlfriend had the honors of seeing Stevie at the Mass Mutual building across from the new Springfield Casino and I can definitely speak for both of us if you ever have a chance to see him in your City you will not regret it. Matter of fact I'll reimburst 1/2 the ticket if you think its a lousy show ( not really ) Go see him!
Yep border Collies have pretty much hair everywhere. It gets on the wall. You look over and there's a tumbleweed of hair. I know plenty of people that prefer the shorter coated breeds of dogs compared to the longer coated dog breeds. It is a big difference imo. Short hair versus long hair acts much different. You don't get tumbleweeds of short hair rolling through your house 2 hours after you clean. You do with long coated dogs that she'd like border Collies and huskies. Along with German shedders. I'm watching 4 short coated dogs right now. The fur is barely noticeable on the ground even though they all shed constantly.
They are such a versatile breed. They do have cons that a lot of people don't like to talk about though. Since no one's said the cons I will go ahead and list them after being around many. They can be neurotic being a herding breed they can get obsessed with things such as chasing shadows and lights if not given the correct stimulation or bad genetics. Honestly it is horrible watching a dog not be able to chill because it can't stop. They can be one person dogs and generally untrustworthy around many people while this is genetic usually it can happen anyways with good lines or a slight misstep in socializing as puppies. They were bred to be on farms and deal with their Shepherd not others. While they can be good with kids they can be overbearing and too controlling of kids and the movements that kids make. Alot of dogs don't like them because of the way they play and how they look directly into dogs eyes. Generally border Collies get along with border Collies and not many other breeds. It's almost impossible to find a line without seizures in it at some point. They require a lot of physical and mental stimulation. They can be quiet destructive and they shed alot.
That's funny ! I used to go to my dog park everyday ..Their are personalities to some breeds .
Yeah a lot of dogs don't take to kindly to that. Mine is trained to only care about me at a dog park because she doesn't like the crappy behaviors other dogs display. She won't even give a dog a glance and just wants me to throw the ball hundreds of times. That sounds like that's a disaster waiting to happen if a dog gets tired of being bossed around and nipped.
This really goes for every breed though, it's pretty bad practice for people to keep quiet about the downsides. Goldens can be very stubborn, for instance, and Labs can be clumsy and hyperactive and overly fixated on food. There is no such thing as a perfect breed (or mix) really, it depends on each person's or family's preference and lifestyle. Bit of a rare thing, but I've also seen smaller, less active dogs being a poor match for people that wanted to take them on long hikes and overly busy environments. Plus some of the smallest breeds and be the nastiest in terms of biting, possessiveness and barking.
This, so much. So many people have huskies that really shouldn't have one.
