Q. Should I keep a border collie if I'm seriously overweight or disabled?
A. It's our opinion if you're so seriously overweight or disabled that you are unable to move around easily, it's probably better not to have a really active dog such as a young border collie.
We appreciate that many less overweight and disabled dog owners can give dogs a great life and we're very happy to listen to what you have to say about the way you would keep a dog. Having said that, up to the moment of collection we reserve the right to refuse to supply a puppy or dog if we have any reason whatever to suspect they might be unable to look after it properly. This applies to all applicants, large or small.
Working dogs need physical and mental stimulation. If they don't get it, they'll make their own entertainment - and you may not like the result. To keep a dog constantly on a lead is unfair to the dog.
