When I was a child , we had a Border Collie named Ring . Our neighbor
about an eighth of a mile down and across the road had one name Tippy .
They'd step out in the road , see each other and meet in the middle .
They were pretty evenly matched , never a clear winner - kinda like The
Hatfields and McCoys . The feud went on until one of them died , been so
long I don't recall which expired first . But neither ever went to the
vet over a bite or two .

Awww perhaps they enjoyed it?))) If one of them were being badly hurt,
they would back off

I always get Border Collies and always rescues. My current one is terrified
of other dogs

She was found in a house with 42 dogs and 2 cats and the owner had died.
She's had pups but there were none to be seen so they must have eaten them.
She was skin and bone ... heh you ought to see her now Perhaps I have
been a bit too generous ... yes she is a bit overweight but the vet never
gives me any grief The RSPCA who found them had to share them all out
with rescue centres. They put Poppy in a cage with another dog (thinking
that because they knew each other ...) but she was bullied so badly by other
other dog they moved her out. It took her a long time to trust us, but
now, she can't bear either of us to be out of her sight. She is a lovely
girl and we love her to bits)

I hope you always have happy dogs
