For a breed specialist, The Freedom Of Spirit Trust For Border Collies at Bingley is about 30 miles from Manchester. It has full time behaviourists and trainers, asks you to be ready to spend a day or two with the dog you choose, and keeps strict conditions: two months on a lead or long line after adoption, no harnesses or haltis, no homes where everyone works full time, and no dog left alone in the garden or with a dog flap, because of theft. Border Collie Trust GB, about 50 miles from Manchester at Colton near Rugeley, keeps every dog at its centre and asks the whole household to meet the dog there.
Border Collie Rescue, which has kept its dogs in foster homes since 1995 and does not advertise them one by one, takes applications from suburban and rural homes but not from towns or cities, will not rehome where children under eight live, and needs an adult at home for most of the time.

The Border Collie takes its name from the border regions of England, Scotland and Wales, where it worked sheep in the hills. The Royal Kennel Club calls it a "naturally active and intelligent herding specialist and all-round worker", says it is still seen working sheep and cattle, and says it "needs to be engaged to lead a fulfilled life".
