Say Hello to Freya
Border Collie, 5 years old
My favourite thing about Freya is...
She's always there for me. She's always happy to see me. We love to go out for walks. She's a star and she's my best friend.
The biggest challenge with Freya is...
As with any animal, the expense is high on the agenda but we manage it. But i suppose being patient whilst socialising/ training her is a challenge but I'm very understanding to her past and it comes easily.
The most surprising thing about owning a Border Collie is...
They are very needy and this was something I didn't know until I'd read it elsewhere and I agreed straight away!
What I wish I’d known about Border Collies is...
You need an extendable hose for washing their underside off after a wet/ muddy walk... all year round. That's if you want the dog indoors as I do.
Did you know?
There are many theories on how Collies got their names but as ‘collie’ is Gaelic for ‘useful’ perhaps it’s as simple as Scottish farmers recognising one of the key traits of their dogs.
