Can a rough collie live in Florida?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, actually, they can-fine if you know how to treat them. A smooth collie is more suited for the job, but rough collies are good, too. Never let them too long in the sun-maxium is about 2-3 hours or so. They cannot stand the heat and might get heatstroke, and also their noses are prone to sunlight. Once dry, this can cause breathing problems.

Why do border collies pee in the house in the same room?

Asked by Wiki User

It's not only border collies that do it. I have a border collie sheltie mix and he pees in the house in the same room, also.

Its a territorial thing. the dog finds a nice place that's comfortable and pees there. Once he pees, his scent is all over that one room, that's why it's important to clean it up right away. Your dog will then return to wherever his scent is and pee there until he finds a new spot that he likes better. Don't let him have the freedom of peeing wherever he wants to, he'll soon take over the house and feel like he's the dominant one. Try crate training, regular walks, and lots and lots of positive reinforcement. Herding dogs like shelties and border collies hate being scolded and only want to please, so really praise them when they do something good, and a small but stern correction when they do something bad will be enough.

Good luck! Hope this helped!

Will a pure rough collie's tail curl upward so that the tip just touches the back if it is alert?

Asked by Wiki User

No, not a purebred. A Canaan Dog's tail does curve over its back, though, and they're pretty similar to the BC in temperament.

Is a Wicklow collie just another name for a Border collie or is there a difference?

Asked by Wiki User

I had a Wicklow Collie in Ireland. She was about one third smaller than a normal sized Border Collie. Her parents were also smaller. She was very smart with strong work ethic. I was unable to find that breed anywhere else outside of Ireland.

What if your rough collie tied with your border collie about 6 weeks ago she is coming close to her due date how many puppies are you expecting and what are the pups like mixed with two collies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm assuming your border collie is the typical black and white coloration. If that is the case, then, no matter what color the other dog is, most if not all of the pups should be black and white, black being the dominant color. The puppies will probably be smaller than rough collies, without the long "collie nose." My guess is that some will have longer coats than the others. Since the average border collie litter is 8, and a rough collie litter is usually between 6 and 10, you can expect 8 or 9 little ones.

AnswerIt sounds like what my '94 was doing. It ended up being the fuel pressure

Common problem with 1995 4.3 w central port injection is that the injector lines and fuel regulator under the intake plenum are plastic and begin to leak and literally pour fuel through the system. I just replaced both on my 1995 s10 and it runs like new again.
