I am on my way to euthanise my Border Collie Kiva. She has been a good friend and companion for the last ten years. Last week she went blind, Border Collies have a genetic disposition, but was getting along fine. She did not eat saturday so i knew something was up. She must have had a stroke as she lost all control of her back legs and then her front. She is not in pain so we just thought we would let her go on her own as we all lied around and spent one more day with her. The reason I really want to post is although she has been a wonderful companion I really feel this breed needs to be a working dog. They are incredibly smart and get bored easily. There are natural herders and need lots of room to run, ALL day. I have a real sense of remorse that she lead a life imposed by myself. If you ever think you want one of these dogs and do not live in the country , have a job that requires 8 hrs a day away from home, live in a city, please consider another breed. God bless Kiva, she has been a dear friend.
