maccy

Border Collie.
Is maccy good about not herding straight through your Border Crocosmias?

What a lovely boy. He looks very intelligent, but arent they naughty as puppies, more overtly playfull than naughty i suppose. Cheeky monkeys!!
Gorgeous. I could just run my fingers through that lovely hair near his collar where it is so soft on collies.

awww Maccy is lovley

Maccy is a gorgeous boy........... he was owned by a farmer who was going to kill him. He was treated so badly all his life that he still doesn't trust anyone at all much.
It is such a shame that some people with animals just don't have any emotions or feelings.
Maccy is safe now, but still has a few problems, and probably walways will have.

The punishment for people who offend agains animals could never be harsh enough in my opinion but they only ever seem to get fined!
Good on you for giving Maccy the love he deserves.

Normally not even a big fine either............. In my opinion they should be flogged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well Maccy is one of the lucky ones , now that he is living with you. still dont understand how anyone can treat an animal badly

Me too............... it upsets me when i see or hear of ill treated animals.

I agree with all of you, we unfortunately often see hungry cats and dogs roaming the streets and country lanes - people just dump them before they go on holiday. I have some photos of a dog we found last year and I could send one if you want just to give you an idea of how low man can stoop - it would break your hearts Luckily we managed to find him a home but I personally would inflict these culprits with exactly the same treatment they give these poor creatures - no water or food under the scorching sun for days and days on end ------ it really makes my blood boil

Nooooo please don't post pics............. I cannot stand to look at things like that. It makes me so darn mad!!!!!!!
We live in the country too and see cats and dogs roaming arounnd because people have dumped them.
Thats how i have come to have 3 cats.......

Here too, we have ended up with 5 cats for the same reason

I wish I could say things are different here, but just last week when I walked out the front door I was approached by a tiny little kitten someone had dumped. They seem to like our yard cause it is the last house before a wild undeveloped stretch and it happens probably once a year. Which is why I know where all the rescue shelters are. I took the cute little ginger and white kitten to the shelter, and a little girl about 6-7 wanted him before I even got out the door.

awwwwwwwwwww poor little kitten..........
yes we have a cat shelter near us, they are always full!!!!
so sad to see all these unwanted animals.......... but its good that there are people out there that care about them.

It's horrible thinking of any creature being harmed or neglected.

Border Collies such as Maccy are from the Pastoral Group ( in America this is called the Herding Group ) which contains breeds such as Rough Collies, Smooth Collies, and Shetland Sheepdogs.

These dogs are especially sensitive and intelligent and it's no wonder that Maccy still finds it difficult to trust people.

He's lucky to have found such a safe home with you. Did you have to guess at his age ? How old do you think he is?

Oh yes he is very very intelligent and sensitive........ I don't think he will ever trust anyone again. If a stranger calls he just cowers in the corner.

We took him to the vet to have him checked over and he said Maccy was about 7ish.
