this is totally untrue
collies make excellent pets, the ba5rking ones haven't been trained properly

I agree with this.
My housemate does exercise her well but is a bit shit at training her. Thinking he's basically the dog whisperer because she'll like down if he shouts it at her enough.

I used to walk her quite a bit but gave up because she was a pain in the arse, and a lack of consistency in training would make my attempts pointless.

That said, she's an angel compared to some of the dogs people have brought round. Jumping all over the sofas and everything. Fuck that.

i'm not denying that they are great pets
but they are working dogs, and a bit too clever for their own good. if you don't train them and give them lots to do, they get bored. and they KNOW they are being naughty.

source: next door neighbour had border collies that i loved a lot. they were fucking well trained. you could put a lamb chop right next to them (and i did, because i hated it, and i got reet bollocked if i got caught by my mum), and they wouldn't touch it until you said so.

they sound like they were great pets then...
better than having a red setter rummaging through your bin bags

they were
apart from the time one of them came round with the owner and i was penned in at the kitchen table as i had refused to eat my pork chop and peas. the dog smelled it and came in all happy. she was thrilled with my pork chop. i was thrilled to get rid of the nasty thing. she was less thrilled with my peas. but she was so obedient that she ate the lot. every time she tried to slink away, i said, EAT! and she did.

then she wandered into the lounge and yakked the lot up over my mum's feet, totally busting me.

the red setter thing was not funny, is not funny, and never will be funny, damn you to god, amen.
