I may get a wainscoting collie, but I know they need a lot of mental stimulation to stay happy dogs. Since they were bred for herding, I am fretful that they won't be happy with just agility.
I may be able to do herding, if it is not to expensive. Since, I will already be doing agility, things will add up in monies.
Credit you.

If they were your children would you not have planned your move with them in intelligence or would you have adopted them out or turned them over to childrens aid.

Mostly you can and should take your pets with you. Moving with border collies is not impossible. Now if you had pit bulls and were moving to an area that they were banned in...that's peculiar.
