Podcast post (1)

Inspired by a video I made on Instagram and Tiktok and after a follower suggested it… here it a full podcast episode about Traits that are Border Collie breed related traits and which ones are not!

Sometimes I hear people pointing out behaviours that are considered breed traits, while to me are just personality trait of the specific dog and some behaviours that are considered problematic are instead coming with the breed job and selection!

Let me break this down for you in this podcast episode!

This has allowed me to gain invaluable experience and an understanding of these unique dogs and the behavioural challenges that we may have to face as owners.
