Hiya everyone

I have to rehome by BC. I dont really WANT to but i feel like i havent got much choice. He is 7 months old now and needs more and more time and attention and as im in college all day and my other half is in work i feel its cruel to leave him on his own for these long periods of time. So i am asking £175 for him - he hasnt got any papers. I would give him to a good home but i know if someone if willing to pay for him they are more likely to really want one and look after him if that makes sense!

Must be awful for you :( If hes not getting the time and attention he needs though it sounds like its for the best.
Just be careful where you home him to so this time he hopefully goes to a home where he'll spend the rest of his life ask lots of questions etc.

Can you not alter your routine? Get up very early and walk him, give him plenty of attention when you are home? Maybe have a neighbout call in?

OH and I both work full time and manage our dogs as many people do .... it may not be ideal but it does work very well for lots of people

yes, same here, me and my hubby work full time and my dogs are happy and get plenty of quailty time with us!
try changin ur routine!
if u feel u really need to rehome him then please do think bout lettin a rescue do it for you, border collie rescue will help you, then u knwo the homes are suitable etc!

Rescue can be too picky on new homes sometimes though i think, such as not letting them go with other un-neutered dogs, not letting them go where people work at all. As well as the possibility of him ending up in a kennel not what a 7month old pup needs. I think giving it a go at finding him a good home yourself is the best idea if you really can't work out a way to keep him. Just make sure you find the perfect home :)

Dont get me wrong,but asking £175,for a dog you can no longer give time too seems a bit steep to me.A token payment maybe for travel costs etc, as you may want to look at the possible new home(a lot would for peace of mind).I dont think putting a price on any dog ensures it is going to a good home lot of mis-understanding people out in this world. soapbox i await some stick for this reply. *hide*

no. i quite agree. it could be worse - she could go out and find a replacement and decide the fault lay with the first dog.

When I gave up Roxy it was due to her aggression with other people, she would lunge at people in the street even children, when she bit my friend and had his child scared to move that was it for me as at that point in my life I was coping with my brothers death due to cancer and very low, she was feeding off my nerves, and I was not a strong enough personality for her, she needed a stronger owner than me so I GAVE her to a rescue, I never said she was at fault and I never intended to get another dog so quickly, but Topaz came along and she was exactly what I needed, she is not aggressive or fearful, and she has a more laid back attitude, Roxy was aggressive and fearful from the beginning even at 10 weeks.

So please don't use other peoples post to have a dig at me and get on with your own life.
