Looking for A Female Border Collie Puppy Please!

Hi ! I'm located in Northern California, In Upper Lake near Mendocino County, and Lake County. I recently got a one year old Border Collie female dog for my husband and she chewed through her leash and ran off! We cannot find her, my husband said that the next border collie dog we get needs to be a puppy young enough to properly bond with us. She has to be a female as well due to our male lab dog won't tolerate another male dog. Does anyone have any information about Boder Collies in our area? Thanks!

Alice, I work for a vet and I also own a Border Collie. First and most important. Remember that Border Collies are EXTREMELY active and HATE leashes. I would suggest a "Harness" type restraint system. Keeps them from thinking they are being tied down. I do not know where in your area you can get one, but I would suggest www.PETFINDER.Com THey have great dogs!!! Also, do a search on rescue groups in your area. These dogs are often turned in to shelters because of their high energy levels. Good luck! Heather
