Border Collie Rescue - A Day in the Life

A Border Collie Rescue video short where we try to cram a whole day at the Border Collie Rescue Centre into 10 minutes.
Forgive us if we missed some things out!

The Border Collie is designed to be a sheepdog and was originally used for herding livestock in the English and Scottish Borders. Border Collie Rescue assesses all dogs coming into our care for herding ability and will rehome them as stockdogs if that is what they need to do but we also assess and rehome for scent discrimination skills to the Police, Prison Service and Excise to detect drugs, explosives and firearms -- to SARDA and other rescue organisations for mountain rescue and search and rescue work -- to help deaf, blind or otherwise disabled people as well as for working trials, flyball, agility, obedience and other interactive sporting disciplines and many of our dogs have qualified for Crufts in these disciplines. Those that show us they do not need or want to work are rehomed as PAT dogs, pets and companions.

wow u guys sure are busy especially with so many high energy dogs they are all so beautiful btw im just curious but what do u feed the dogs at BCR looks very interesting haha

[BorderCollieRescueUK]

Yeah, keeps us off the streets and out of trouble!

Dogs coming in eat their normal food (if we know) and unless on a special diet we gradually move them onto a complete food from the Gilpa or Dr. Johns range - both brands made by Gilbertson and Page Ltd. The company can deliver, even a single bag, to any of our foster homes anywhere in the UK. Enables diet continuity if dogs move around.

oh wow thats so cool i was just curious about that =) i feed shimmer the purina one cuz i heard that the pedigree one of their makers had something recalled and so far ive heard nothing of purina so im going with that... i hate all of these recalls they need to quit nowadays nothing is safe not even a poor family pet...

[BorderCollieRescueUK]

Yes, can understand your caution.

Gilpa is a family run company. Good quality control - source ingredients carefully.

Dont use the big firms. Globalisation leads to lack of concience. Mortality test on animals common. Most are subs of major chemical firms with ethics of rats - profit is their main concern.

Why pay for them to advertise and experiment?

You guys are quite nice people to devote all your time to these dogs.

[70pinky]

God bless you all guys for dedicating your life to those man's best friends. Great video. :)

[EmilySnider]

THANK YOU for doing what you do. Border Collies are amazing.

[EmilySnider]

I LOVE this line of thought, I employ the same! I feed raw, or totally uncommercialized products. If you can buy it at any old store, it's not worth feeding!!!

[comraderasputin]
