[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-sympathy to you! It doesn't seem as though your ILs made a wise decision in the type of dog they brought home and now you're dealing with the ramifications. I love dogs, have been around them all my life and have family who swear by border collies-and live in the country where the dog can herd to heart's content, watch animals, and "patrol" the yard before coming in happy as a clam and calm. I can almost guarantee the IL's dog is anxious because it's not being exercised/stimulated enough. They are outrageously smart dogs who love to herd things-anything really. They bounce off the walls and need tons of exercise and toys that will stimulate them. They really aren't conducive to homes without that. They can be SUPER destructive if bored. Please be cognizant of this and that it's really not the poor dog's fault. Without a fenced yard, it's going to be really, really difficult. I'm sorry. [/quote] Border collies are the most intelligent breed. Border Collies have to be kept busy & active all day. Need to run 5 miles a day--or more. Sweetest, most intelligent dogs on Earth.[/quote] Woof ![/quote]
