I don't know if we can get border collie here in asia. It is really hard to get some breeds may be because of geographical location and import/export rules. Through import or from previous breeder camps ,chances are there. But those chances are slim IMO. I'll stick with lab, boxer and Shepard for now.

Probably, you can get them through any famous pet shop, contact any vet. doctor in your region, probably they can help you in this matter if you are really interested in having a border collie....but, be ready to pay huge amount in buying them, such, breeds costs very high usually.....

And, breeds like labradors, boxer and german shepherds are very famous breeds here in India or might be in other parts of the world. I personally have a german shepherd, and is very good, she is 7 months old female and looks heavy, she can easily hunt down other dogs I was also having another german shepherd before her and he was also very good, but, someone steal him, i was really small then
I also heard that labradors are also very friendly and intelligent dogs too.....at last, as a dog lover, I would say, whether it is labrador or german shepherd or local breed dog or any other famous breed, all have got same feelings and if handled properly they are the best in the world
My both dogs are the best dogs in the world

Yes i know that some vet or people sell them at high costs. Thats why i said it is rare to have them here. BC is not common breed here in india.

Labradors rarely get annoyed with people or our actions. So i always found them interesting and prefer them over any other dog. Boxer is kinda scary but they are also loyal and like other dogs you can count on them. shepherd is cool too and they are likely to be sold more here than any other breed.

The only advice I would give is to avoid Sheps that are highly pedigree (ie inbred). Hip displacia is common - the breed standards for the dog over the last decade stupidly emphasised the sloping back which means a lot of 'high pedigree' sheps have useless back legs.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. You have any training experience with training great den dog ? I find them kinda scary because of their huge size and noise. We do have some people here in society keeping those dogs. But i prefer not to get one any time in future.

Yes - we had a Great Dane when I was a kid - Major, he was my Dad's dog. I remember I used to ride him like a pony (it is one of my earliest memories). I don't remember too many details but I do remember he was well trained. As with all dogs - particularly big and powerful ones - socialisation is vital. They need to be in regular contact with lots of people and other dogs from a very early age. They then get used to the little social rules, as well as getting accustomed to crowds. We have 2 at the club and both are well balanced and well behaved. Their training was just like you would for any dog.

Hello Have a good day
The trips you mentioned are great. I trained my dog from petcareprod.com and he is very clever now and understand my all commands. In fact he used to act as a helper for my Grandma who can hardly move.
Thanks

I really tried so hard to teach my dog how to sit but there is no response at all. he is not even tending to do that. I've tried a pro dog trainer and he said your dog is untrainable! my dog learns anything too fast but i don't know why he is not interested in sitting. he learned jumping very easily and now he can jump and grab his mini chunks from the table. Keeping a dog and training him is very expensive job and i'm tired of trying. So i accepted that he can't jump and i'm not trying any more duo to expense of hiring a dog trainer .
