Yes her last collie of 14 years had to be put down and she decided to get an other one but its making her miss her last dog to much.
awww cant she work with him/her in any way at all. collies are brilliant dogs, she could train the pup to do so much.
if you have any pics i will post him/her around and Summer will probably help too. but ask your girlfriend not to give up on him/her just yet.
