Thanks for all the information. I will try for a tri. If not, I might just go with the old favrourite black and white.

We love our Border Collies and will continue with them. We had a b/w for 13yrs, a 6 month old Tri which we had to give away to a farm because he bit my son, a b/w male for 12yrs and he went to doggy heaven earlier this month and we have an 11yr old blue. She misses him so much and always ambushed him and rounded him up. We want a pup to keep her company. Our house is full of Border Collie ornaments. You name it, we've got it.

Black and Whites are cheaper. My husband has his heart set on a tri as he had one many moons ago. Black and whites and tri were the go years ago and now there are so many different colours. I don't like the merles. They look scary. It takes away everything of what a border collie should look like. Sorry breeders who have them.

I did ring the Border Collie Club and they put me onto the guy who is selling a tri for $1500.

Thanks so much for all your replies. I have rung a few breeders about the tri. A lady in Queensland has 3 tri pups and also wants $1200. A guy in NSW has one and wants $1500. I rang Arajoel and she wants $1300. Is that a normal price these days or is that being a bit greedy. Prices have sure gone up since we got ours. They were $400 with papers.

Hello everyone. Don't know whether I am in the right section but I am a border collie lover. I want to buy a tri colour for a family pet and also to keep my 11yr old blue border collie company as she lost her partner at the beginning of the month. Have rung a few breeders but very few have them. Anyone know of any breeders for the tri. Any help would be much appreciated.
