hello this is the first time ive ever used a forum, so please be patient if im doing this wrong. um... ive recently lost the battle of auto immune disease with my sweet heart rex( a border collie cross aged7) .
i miss him so much and have recently been told that you should buy puppies from reputable breeders, to avoid such health problems. We rescued him from the rspca as a 3 month old pup and i want to spare my self the possibility of losing a dog before his time again.
my family are all struggeling with his passing and they are talking about getting another border-collie as rex has made them life long fans of the beautiful breed. i was wondering if you would have any advise as to how to take as many precautions possible to get a healthy dog. Or was my experience just awful luck.
