WelshAndy Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 This is not mine, this is not a lockdown puppy... This is an opportunity to own a very well bred working border collie. Sire is the famous Glencregg Silver. Unfortunately she’s not showing the desire to herd sheep, so she’s been offered for a pet home. She would excel in an active home agility, or as a keen walking/running companion. Up to now she has been kennelled but I’m sure with time she could be house trained as she’s very intelligent. Based near Porthmadog. Seller is asking £500 Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 These dogs need the right owner who has some idea of how to handle them and willing to work them at something. Lovely dog with the right owner but not for wuffly duffly dog owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need something to occupy their minds more so than any labrador I have come across. I know of two local to me and althouh they have loving owners, the dogs are hyper every time they take them a walk. They don't do ayhting with them. One has great delight at diving out at the garden fence every time something goes by and already resullted on one young lass getting chucked off her horse. I hope some farmer buys it.

Most of what you wrote could describe most springers and cockers... Like I said in the advert, she does not possess the drive for herding therefore offered for an active pet home.
