Let's say hello to Joe
Border Collie, 7 years old
My favourite thing about Joe is...
He's very sweet and affectionate. Keeps himself very clean.
The biggest challenge with Joe is...
He's extremely anxious, terrified of most things.
The most surprising thing about owning a Border Collie is...
Sleeps like a log. He's a failed working dog so steers clear of sheep rather than herding them. Just wants to be everybody's friend. Loves to keep my other dogs clean too.
What I wish I’d known about Border Collies is...
If you want a hosehold pet, don't buy from working stock.
