I’ve had dogs for pretty much all my life, having owned a Rough Collie, various Border Collies and a Springer Spaniel. I have also had cats, hamsters, rabbits, budgies and a tortoise! I live in the countryside with various walks and beaches very close by. I appreciate that some collie types and other breeds don’t like roadside walking so am ideally situated for those types of dogs. Your dogs will be welcomed and made part of our pack, by myself and my two border collies. I work locally to my house and am often in and out the house many times a day so your pet wouldn't be on its own for any significant length of time. The animals have access to the whole house and an enclosed rear garden which means they can find a quiet space or be with me in the living area, kitchen or bedrooms. I live very close to beaches and I normally go there for a walk every morning, and there's also an enclosed park nearby, with various other places closeby where we can walk safely. I am usually out around an hour in the morning and similar times in the afternoon with a shorter walk/ game in the garden inbetween times My older dog needs oral medicine so I usually either mix it into the food, or bribe with tablets hidden in ham! The other dog who doesn't need meds gets the ham on its own!
