Note, these questions are designed to allow us to determine that a Collie is the right breed of dog for you AND also to determine that you are the right person/s for a Rescue Collie. If you are not comfortable in answering any question, then please just let us know & why. We are not unreasonable & are more than happy to reconsider/discuss your concern if necessary. Please feel free to add any extra information that you feel would help us in “getting to know you” and your situation.
