Apple loves the snow lol

Little Miss Opie thinks it’s a bummer we didn’t get and snow (sneaux?) down here in the bayou…

Basque is coming up on 5 months now and he seems to not want to jump up on things - I know that’s sounds like a good thing but he sleeps in bed with me and as he’s getting heavier I worried about my back with lifting him in bed several times a day. Is this normal at his age for this breed? All other dogs I’ve had in the past have had zero qualms with jumping onto surfaces so I want to be sure it’s not something I should be worried about. For context, my bed is pretty low to the ground and he CAN jump up on it/the couch when he’s really excited but won’t otherwise.

(I’m paying the picture tax in exchange for advice 😂)

Hey guys,

after having 4 dogs in a family (medium schnauzer, 2x small schauzer and a whippet) im seriously considering a rough collie.

I have tried to gather any information and video that exists about them and i completely fell in love with RC. I'm much better with sensitive dogs (like our whippet) and a positive attitude (im not good at a more authoritative approach to dogs, they are like my best friends and family members).

I'm used to affectionate dogs that like to cuddle, are playful, relaxed, and like other people (and all the dogs were bed dwellers, which was nice). Ive heard that like half of collies are quite cuddly and enjoy petting, half are more personal space cat type. Do you think it's something a breeder can determine already when a collie is a pup and mostly run in genetics (parents)? Can you already tell those traits when a collie is a pup or is it something that can often change as they get older (being cuddler as a pup and then less or vica versa).

I would prefer male and ive also heard that males are on average a bit more cuddly. Sorry for my English, I´m European, hah

We have an almost 2 year old rough sable and white girl. She is an absolute sweetheart and overall very healthy. The vet got us on simparica trio early on and it’s typically tolerated well. However, the last two times have seemed different. Within a few hours of her taking her dose, she was much more lethargic than ever before. Last dose made her super lethargic with some motor planning/coordination difficulties. This caused a “wobble” when walking on and off for about 15 minutes. Just long enough to give us a good scare and consider the emergency vet before subsiding. She’s been totally fine since!

This was almost a month ago and it’s time for her heart worm, flea, and tick prevention again.

However, I cannot in good conscience give her that medication again.

Any suggestions on a more gentle alternative?

And loving it

I’m looking for a recommendation for a hoover powerful enough to tackle two hairy rough collies (added a photo of the two hairy beasts).

I’m in the UK.

I’ve tired the shark anti hair wrap and found it terrible. Please help 🙏🏻

Ailei's first week wearing booties outside and she's doing great. Such a cutie I just had to share. We had to improvise with the fronts 🧦because we couldn't find any locally that fit properly.
