very easy for a beginner to feck up a first x collie
Better with a 3/4 bred for the first time...less collie = less complicated, less manic, less obsessive = less nervous breakdown...
3/4 bred kinda does what it says on the tin...less surprises...less of a minefield...let's get going gung ho style...
I had a hard time with this lad...one step forward...ten steps back...lots of hair pulling, lip biting, counting to ten,20,30,40........999...and beyond...but when we got to the daylight at the end o the tunnel...it was worth all the heartache...he's the most fiercely loyal dog I have
