ABOUT COLLIES

A collie is a distinctive type of herding dog, ultimately originating in Britain, especially in the upland areas of the north and west. It is a medium-sized, fairly lightly-built dog with a pointed snout, and many types have a distinctive white pattern over the shoulders. Collies are very active and agile, and most types have a very strong herding instinct. The collie type has spread through many parts of the world (especially Australia and North America) and has diversified into many landraces and breeds, sometimes with mixture from other dog types. Some of the collie types have remained as working dogs, used for herding cattle, sheep and other livestock, while others are kept as pets, show dogs or for dog sports, in which they display great agility, stamina and trainability.

Common use of the name "collie" in some areas is limited largely to certain breeds – such as to the Rough Collie in parts of the United States, or to the Border Collie in many rural parts of Great Britain. Many collie types do not actually include "collie" in their name.

forum member cannot buy one. ahhahah

Have you thought of a Chow Chow? Many ppl doesn't know they are a good guard dog. My chow chow knows how to guard at the age of 2 mths+.

how much does a border collie costs?
anyone can ship it to sibu sarawak?
pls kindly let me know
thanks a lot.
Regards.

I've seen before a Border Collie in a pet shop selling for around RM1500, he was 3 to 4 months old that time.

Border is not guard dog, they are very active family dog. They can be a good watchdog.Yes they r the smartest dog in dogworld as a result from a few experiments...

U can try english mastiff, bullmastiff or french mastiff. They are very good guard dog. Or maybe u can consider Great Dane, as they are not guard dog but their appearance will give people a very scary feeling, especially black GD

i had just got my border collie pup, tried to search BC thread,but Lyn still yet have it.is there any other BC owner here in lyn?shall we open the thread & discuss everything about this breed?

just bought my little one...

Gorgeous pup, have fun training her My neighbour has a male border collie with great temperament, shame this breed is hard to find in Msia. Your pics are really good, the one of your golden holding her is so adorable

thanks alot, i've been waiting for this breed from breeder around 6 months time with 1 time of carriage failured.
how did u find your neighbour's BC temperament?naughty?

This post has been edited by antichrist: Apr 6 2010, 03:58 PM

I have 2 female border collies. They are lovely dogs.

is there anymore of BC owners around here?or shall i tansform this into an official BC thread?

Hope your BC pup will turn out to have good health + temperament My neighbour's 6 yr old male BC has great temperament - calm and good with people/dogs. Doesn't bark much which is very fortunate since collies tend to bark a lot. Very obedient and won't even run out if the gate is open haha. Have to credit his owners for raising him well, even if he had a good temperament to start out with if the owners didn't take time to train him he'd prolly be naughty too. Not as energetic as I would expect a herding dog to be but that might be due to his hip problem. The owners told me he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at age 2, they later found out he was the product of inbreeding and the breeder didn't check for genetic faults =o= Hopefully you did your research and your pup is from parents with solid health records

Nice puppy where did u get her?..yea i think u should make a BC thread..i'm interested in border collie too would love to join your thread and study about this breed..

nice pup....may i know from which breeder u get this pup ?

oo man smartest dogs in the world...and looks cute...

got her from Seremban breeder..she is really cute but abit naughty for now probably she is still a pup
will transform this thread into official BC thread when i have time, because been busy with my little BC this few days.

this breed is very hard to get, even though have to make sure it is a good breed, i saw number of BC not really have nice marking or good health condition.

This post has been edited by antichrist: Apr 8 2010, 07:00 PM

The guy selling in LYN Pet Store... No cert one :\

i think u can judge the BC's quality by their appearance..

sometime Bingo can be aggressive when Mika pushes her too hard...

Haha! Cute!

u have any of your R.collie's photo to share?i hope i hope i'm not the only 1 who shares..

I can't seem to load photos

try to upload it on imageshack or photobucket then past the url here
btw, where did u get ur collie? from a breeder? with cert?
sorry for asking too much but I've been wanting a rough collie since I was a kid..
planning to get one after I graduate but hard to find a good breeder for this breed.. I think sheltie breed is more famous than rough in KL?

to whom u r asking..?if dog breed not really for the matters of famous but depends on individual preference..donno whether u guys agree or not..?

This post has been edited by antichrist: Apr 9 2010, 03:46 PM

Here you go

Yes, she's certified. I got her from a breeder but she was the last batch. He's now retired. You could opt for importing one in.

---

Added on April 9, 2010, 3:55 pmYeah, I agree with antichrist.
Famous means you follow the trend of what other people like? I don't think it should be that way.

such a big chewy she had...

Beautiful dog TokiToki, you must get "Lassie!" comments a lot

Hehe finished it in an hour.

Added on April 9, 2010, 4:05 pmThanks byaku! Haha yes I do. But I'm suprised that kids nowadays don't know who Lassie is

This post has been edited by TokiToki: Apr 9 2010, 04:05 PM

My GR used eat all chewy & bones when she is 1 yr plus..but now surprisingly she don't chew anymore..

a peaceful portrait when they r not fighting..

a peaceful portrait when they r not fighting..

Silly me, forgot to share the collie in my life, my bf's sheltie Ozzy:



Hard to get full length shots of him because he loves human attention so much he'll start drifting towards the camera the moment he sees me He has like, zero herding instinct lol, prolly one of the most inactive and docile collies you will ever find hahaha.

Wah end of an era, so sad this generation's kids dunno Lassie I get "wolf!/Lassie!" comments from kids when I walk Ozzy, a couple of policemen in a patrol car stopped to ask if he was even a dog XDDD

That's actually a good thing, she prolly finished teething and doesn't feel such a strong need to chew anymore. I'm waiting for the glorious day this happens for my very chew-happy lab pup =o=;; Nice pic of your dogs, I really like seeing them together. Can really tell your golden is enjoying having a companion

byaku chan u added me in flickr, what camera u r using?
u seems to have alot of dogs?

This post has been edited by antichrist: Apr 9 2010, 05:31 PM

any1 know where i can get the movie lassie? any link?

Oh... Erm... I thought Sheltand Sheepdogs are a breed on their own? Not anykind of Collie. Sorry correct me if I'm wrong.

Ozzy's a gorgeous tri-coloured sheltie btw

I'm asking Toki where she get her rough collie as I've been trying to find good breeder of this breed.
and I'm not saying that ppl buy sheltie because the breed is more famous than rough collie as I've seen some sheltie's owner and hardly seen any rough collie owner. Or if you're talking bout me, I'm actually intend to find nice rough collie with cert as I need the cert to import them back to my hometown if I need to go back for good. So, I've prefer puppy with cert thou their price is higher and I might need to cert in the future

btw, Toki, how old is ur collie?

Would you believe I use a humble point and shoot (Canon Ixus 900TI)? I post-process my photos in Photoshop if any enhancements are needed Hoping to get a Lumix LX3 eventually as it's the one of the few high end compact cameras capable of producing images approaching DSLR-quality (can't beat a DSLR cam but I don't fancy carrying a bulky and heavy camera around ).

The sheltie lives with my bf, at my home I have 4 dogs. The 2 boys are my own - 4-5 yr old rescued mutt that's probably some sort of hound mix and a 9 month old labrador. The 2 girls are foster cases - 8 month old beagle I rescued from a bad breeder and an old spitz (looks like a purebred American Eskimo) that was found wandering in Subang that was handed over to Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better. Never a dull moment in my house ^^

You can stream the movie here

Thanks, Ozzy does look rather decent for an 8 year-old Collies are like a group of dogs, if that makes any sense? Just like how beagles are classified under the hound group and pomeranians are considered a type of spitz. You can read about the breeds classed under the collie group here, there are so many I can't remember lol.

to be honest, i know Lassie tv show but not really have alot of memories about it...

Added on April 9, 2010, 11:27 pmnowadays dslr not really as heavy as what u thought even my gf loves to use my dslr, but compact camera is always get compact's quality, cant complaint bout that, i used to use canon g10(satisfied) but even more satisfy with dslr...=P

I really respect that u could take care of so many dogs in a house ..



This post has been edited by antichrist: Apr 9 2010, 11:28 PM

I was considering the Canon G10 (was between that and the LX3) but prefer the LX3 cos it's more compact (teruk or not haha, choose based on size). Do you post-process pics from your DSLR or do the pics come out that good looking originally? I really like the depth of colour in particular in your pics

And thanks, I get a lot of joy from the dogs so caring for them is worth it

Yeah, Rough Collies are under herding/pastoral group and so are Shelties. So.... Anyway... Back to Collies!

---

Added on April 10, 2010, 1:22 pmShe's now almost 1 and a half years old. Where is your hometown if I may ask? I'll help you keep an eye out if there are any good puppies around. I have been searching for another Rough Collie but to no avail. Those that I have found don't come with MKA cert.

This post has been edited by TokiToki: Apr 10 2010, 01:22 PM

yesterday play with 4 border collie..like them so much...

I'm from Indonesia
thou I plan to stay and work here after I grad, I still prefer to find a pup with cert as it'll be easier for me to bring them back with me if I need to to back my hometown for good. I've actually found rough collie for sale but not sure if the puppies got any cert plus I'm not sure if the person is a breeder or not so I just look around I guess I really need to save more money before I really hunt the pup cuz the price sure will hijack my purse lol

Ah I see! Are there Rough Collies in Indonesia?
Yes, I too prefer to get certified dogs. I also check on the background of the breeders, sire & dam before committing.
Haha the price isn't cheap... But it's sure worth it when you find a good pup.

Welcome to Collies' club

Added on April 10, 2010, 9:05 pmagreed, in M'sia alot of breeder sell them for the sake of money, even with mka cert they neglect taking care of the pups.

Added on April 10, 2010, 9:09 pmthanks, i do edit my photos but not much, contrast & lighting only.LX3 is a good camera too.but i would consider olympus ep1 or 2 & Lumix Gf1 too..

Added on April 12, 2010, 5:43 pmOh oh! I know Auntie Ruby personally haha! But it's kinda far.

This post has been edited by TokiToki: Apr 12 2010, 05:43 PM

That is only true if you go alone with your furkid But if you can get enough people to book the whole resort, Ruby would be more than happy to accommodate everyone...the last two times I went to Ruby's with my friends and their furkids, we gathered enough people to book the whole resort And since the resort is smaller compared to other big hotels, it's not hard to find enough people

Thanks for the camera recs, I'll keep what you suggested in mind But you're right, nothing beats a DSLR! The quality of your pics really tempt me hahaha.

She's really beautiful, nice name too! Never thought I'd see a blue merle rough collie in Msia, let alone one with bicolour eyes - what a treat!

do any1 have experience of bringing their dogs to PD during puasa time?

building myself a dog house can be very very tired!

Nice job! Aren't you afraid that the wood might rot though?

my last wooden house lasted 10 years...i think it's worth of building it =P

10 years?! That's long... You coat the wood with anything? Or leave it bare?

nice doghouse. mine doesnt need one, she sleeps in all the rooms lol

Haha mine too. But it'll be nice to have a dog house also, just for "decorative" purposes.

how u do the sliding door? got any drawing plan ka? share share

My rough collie is looking for gf ... any idea ?



Attached thumbnail(s)

u wont understand my drawing, what u need is, a pc of ply wood use 2 pcs of quarter circle wood to hold the ply wood as track to slide.
