We picked her up 10 days ago. Her name is Tilba, a 13 week old Border Collie. She's gorgeous, but extremely naughty.
I don't remember our other dogs like that when they were puppies. Mind you that was 15 & 7.5 years ago. She's a real little cutie & smart as a tack.

OMG!!! She's adorable... and she 's going to try to herd your
cat(s).


Not kidding about that BTW!!!! She's a working breed and that's hard wired into her brain.

She is adorable!!!!!!! I've always loved Border Collies - there's no way I could keep up with them, though!
Congrats on your new baby.

Oh my goodness!!!!! SOOOOOOOO cute!


My cousin has a border collie and it's THE smartest dog I have ever met! She will tell it to go get a specific toy, she'll get it and then my cousin will say put your (specific toy) away! And the dog does it!!! It's better than any kid I know!

Is she working lines? If so, be prepared for a very energetic and busy dog. Border collies are one of those breeds that MUST have a job or they go batty. She is very cute.

The only dog I've ever had was a border collie. You're right about smart; it took us 15 minutes to train her to stay out of the street, and after that, you couldn't drag her into the street.

What a DOLL! Keep that pup busy, though, or she'll find her own ways to amuse herself.
While it may make for humorous stories about 5 years later, it usually isn't so funny when it happens.
