Oh, she is beautiful....puppies are so fantastic aren't they? I have a 18 month old German Shepherd bitch Amber, who we think is the most adorable thing on 4 legs (of course, Meg is a very close runner up - although, we may be biased!)

As soon as Amber had her full jabs we took her to training classes on a one to one basis with a dog handler - I did the training with her, the trainer just told me what to do. Amber certainly cottoned on a lot faster than me! We continued for a year religiously come rain or shine but now we're reaping the benefits. She's beautiful and we adore her. Definitely get Meg to classes asap, border collies are so intelligen and it'll keep her mind and body active.

As has been said, Border Collies need a huge amount of exercise, my mum and dad walk Camber beach with theirs for 2 hours a day - it's only now that she's 7 that she can only manage an hour and a half! They love a ball too - buy yourself a tennis racket unless you have a particularly good overarm!

Good luck with her, she's obviously much loved and will give you years of fun. I bet she's got you well and truly wrapped around her tiny front paw......

Go for it Meg!
