How long have you had the lab? How did the aggression start? What techniques have you tried to stop it?
We need a home for our border collie Northern CA
My daughter's border collie, Scarlet, just can't seem to get along
with our female lab. We need to find her a new home
![]()
She's very
loving to children, though she does jump up on you when excited.
She's also a herding dog and will herd children if they wander off.
She's grabbed Timmy's pants when she thought he was wandering away
from "the herd". He yelled at her really loud and stomped at her
and she hasn't done it since. She did this the first month we had
her. She was still a puppy at the time. We've had her for 2 years
now without further incident. She's spayed and I'll get her a
rabies shot before giving her away since she's due in 2 months
anyway. At the same time I'll get a copy of her spay certificate
for her new family to license her with. So.... if you know anyone
that would love to have a medium sized dog that is friendly, crate
trained, and loves kids...please give me a PM. She comes with her crate and toys. She's red and white with gorgeous blue eyes.

PS Dani is heartbroken and would really love to be able to visit
occasionally.

The lab is 5 years old. She was here first, AND she's much stronger than the border collie. The border collie starts the fight but the lab finishes it IYWIM. The border collie always ends up the more injured one. Right now the border collie is limping around with a gimpy leg and gashes all over her face. The lab has a couple of puncture wounds and that's it. Luckily the lab is really good about letting my tend to her wounds, but it's a fight with the border collie, I have to muzzle her to clean her booboos and check out her leg.

She's VERY high strung. But she is such a lovey dog. I got a call back from another behaviorist today with some more suggestions. We have to wait until the border collie's leg is healed to start the physical stuff though. But we can do the other stuff she wants us to try. And we're picking up another muzzle for them to wear if they need to be in the yard together (like when I clean out the dog run etc.) Otherwise I'd have to have one in the house and one out, or put both of them in their crates. Neither of these things is bad, but they really do need opportunities to be together while I'm nearbye watching.
