Date: July 10th, 2016 1:10 PM Author: Cerebral Bawdyhouse Lol I honestly am a huge dog person and like most breeds. But this dog is so ugly, it's not bulldog ugly which is kind of endearing and hilarious, it reminds me of a different breed. I would rather have one of those faggot bijon or havanese dogs over a greyhound (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3280923&forum_id=2...id#30894322) |

Date: July 10th, 2016 1:05 PM Author: appetizing impertinent abode scourge upon the earth I had a whippet as a kid - they're cool but like a lot of dogs they need their running and exercise. You'd probably need to go play long distance fetch at least several times a week especially if you live in an apartment.
I prefer my current dog (border collie) - b/c she's super athletic and badass and I can take to the field to play, catch frisbees, long distance fetch, agility courses, etc. - and they're smart which is cool if you train them right (if not it can be hell).

Date: July 10th, 2016 1:26 PM Author: appetizing impertinent abode scourge upon the earth Their intelligence is a double edged sword - if they aren't trained right they can annoy the shit out of you and be very manipulative to learn what makes you tick in order to get what they want.
E.g. one wrong training move and appeasing annoying behavior with a treat / food and they will FUCK YOU with that behavior for a long time - they will also test out different ways to get attention / food from you - e.g. by doing something annoying that they know will get your attention then following that bad behavior with good behavior (sitting, laying on bed, calmness) that usually gets them food now that they have your attention, it's a very manipulative way to try to get food. All dogs to this stuff to some degree but BCs have an extra layer of cunning manipulation relative to what I've seen in other dogs.
Also training is often more difficult b/c of their intelligence b/c they are very literal - so if you trained them to sit by saying "sit" and simultaneously raising your palm up - this is their command to sit - so now you have to do both every time you want them to sit not one or the other (not always but usually especially when there are distractions around). |

Date: July 10th, 2016 1:37 PM Author: vibrant theater cr about Border Collies being manipulative. It is eerie. One of my BC's plays tricks on other dogs just because he's bored and he thinks the other dogs are stupid. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3280923&forum_id=2...id#30894536) |
|
Date: July 10th, 2016 1:07 PM Author: puce resort rigpig I love border collies but they take a lot more work than greyhounds - they are very intelligent and need something to do. Two people working full time is probably not going to work for a border collie.
If you run them a little regularly, greyhounds are pretty much couch potatoes for the 23+ hours when they are not running. |
|
Date: July 10th, 2016 1:09 PM Author: appetizing impertinent abode scourge upon the earth This is very true -- they are genetically bred to run like 30 miles a day herding - so they won't put up with laziness. I live near a field luckily so a one minute walk and I can throw frisbee / chuckit and get her daily exercise.
I can make this work b/c I have flex hours and work from home 1-2 days a week - but if I had 9-6/7 5 days a week like lawyers then this would be difficult / impossible. |
|
Date: July 10th, 2016 1:16 PM Author: vibrant theater I have two border collies. I take them on walks and they have a yard to run around in, and that is plenty. They can adapt to a more sedentary lifestyle. It is BS that if they're not occupied 14 hours per day they will tear up your house.

i believe you but my experience is different |
|
Date: July 10th, 2016 1:23 PM Author: vibrant theater I did not know this until after the fact, but Border Collie owners are a bit of a cult and they try to make it look like having a BC is equal to or greater than raising a baby. A very gifted, snowflake baby.
The truth is, Border Collies have a lot of energy, but nothing that should make one wary of keeping them as housepets. They are very easy to train and eager to please, and those traits trump whatever outdoor behavior they have.
One caveat though: they will try to heard small children and I would not have them around kids under about 7. |

Date: July 10th, 2016 1:05 PM Author: puce resort rigpig They need an enclosed, reasonably big space to run around in. Some people don't like the way they look. Other than that, they are great pets. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3280923&forum_id=2...id#30894287) |

|
Date: July 10th, 2016 1:12 PM Author: appetizing impertinent abode scourge upon the earth Yes absolutely - our whippet would take off sometimes and just tear through the neighborhood if the door was open or fence gate wasn't shut.
It wasn't like other puppydoods who don't leave your side - it was both scary and a huge pain in the ass. |
