Flare our 3 legged Border Collie

Flare had her leg amputated due to an injury this summer. Flare was doing a back flip and hung up her foot in the fence and it tore her foot so badly we had to have her foot worked on. Well she ended up loosing her foot and because of the length it was bumping everything and she was not able to get around well. We ended up having her leg amputated mid femur and she has done GREAT. As you can tell she still runs and gets around great.

Flare hooked her food in a piece of fence and her foot would need to be amputated. But dogs do better with mid femur amputation so they are not bumping the leg holding it out to the side. Flare is still the fastest Border Collie out of all 12 of my Border Collies. She also still jumps on the top of things, goes over a fence, and does the same things she did before the amputation.
