Where to advertise a collie for an agility home?

[Patterdale]

We have an 18 month old collie who is in need of rehoming. I used to do agility and believe she’d be an excellent agility dog.
She is a working sheepdog on our farm but not a very good one. She has been away for training but is just not right for the job, and I think would be better one to one.
She is a really lovely dog with good basic obedience and we just want to see her in a good, permanent, caring home.
I’ve been out of agility a while though and not sure where to advertise? Or who to ask? She’s the kind of dog I’d have loved if I was still training!
cheers!

They have a rescue/rehoming section or dogs for sale in the fleamarket section

Look for local agility/fly ball groups in your area.

There is a facebook group - Active/Sports Dogs for rehoming. Could try there?

have you just asked around locally, mentioned it to friends? I have had 2 failed sheepdogs and both were wonderful dogs. Past the hassle of the puppy stage,, easy to look after and neither had any inclination to bother going near sheep so totally safe dogs for the country. Very happy with a cosy fireside and a one to one life.

With one I was just returning some machinery to a shepherd friend. He told me Tess was going to have to go as he could only have working dogs.. I talked to her, she was lovely so I brought her home. 30 minutes from start to finish.
Sometimes it works better that way. Tess just sold herself, one look and she was just a "nice" dog.

Short or long coat?

unless you have any reason not to (ie security) try a picture on here.

Thank you everyone. Short coat, black and white, very nice looking dog. Small and wiry type.
This is an awful decision to have to make but I truly believe she’d be happier in a one on one pet home.
This was our first foray into buying a pup, we usually breed our own or buy a 12 month old half broken dog. Won’t be repeating it, it’s too hard to tell at the puppy stage how the dog will turn out.
This one is so lovely - but just not for our job. And she’s now starting to make her own amusements when left on the yard which I don’t really want to continue..!
