An old dog of my family, Lark, was a Border, Rough Collie cross, bright as a button, he responded to love and affection, sod these cage things. treat your new pup as one of the family and she will respond in kind. Please never try to discourage the hearding instinct, thats the reason Borders were bred in the first place. Take them for what they are, loyal, loving, intelligent and honest....

Ignore all the books written by "experts" Most of them are muppets who wouldn't know a nose from a tail!

In short, treat her as you would want to be treated. I hope your new family member and you have a great time, lucky you!

Wassail!! Chris
