Mark's been reading the Fell Running Forums again, and told me about some good advice for BC care here: http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showthread.php?9777-collie-tips
There's another thread about whether people wanting a dog should get one from a rescue centre or buy a puppy from a breeder here: http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showthread.php?12467-Border-Collie-Pup
And finally, a sad story about a BC needing rehoming: http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showthread.php?12619-Border-Collie-needing-home - "He has had no more than 15 mins exercise a day for a long period, living in a small house and garden, and consequently has become very frustrated and begun herding visitors to the house. He has bitten once- a hard collie nip to an adult which caused no serious injury. This is entirely to be expected for a BC in these circs"
I've been out for a run up to the nearby castle (which was partially restored a few years ago; apparently the original motte and bailey was built in 1088 by Normans, but retaken by a Welsh prince 6 years later; after 500 years of disuse was refortified, and then used in the Civil War for a few weeks - so in almost 1,000 years of its life this castle has seen action for under 7 years). We then ran along the shore, and back up the hill from Penmon.
Tomorrow's a big day - new hills to climb.
