Ok

so I want a border collie pup, but the OH will hit the roof if i bring anything more home; granted she really likes dogs, but could live without another.

answers on a post card!

Buy one, and tell her it can talk, mention the fact that it ordered you to buy it, and to love it very much. Also, become a master ventriloquist Works everytime!

tell her that it was the last one left and it was going to be put in a rehoming sanctuary and you thought it would have a better home with you. Failing that..........mention it again in a few days and just let her think about it

Get the dog then tell her if she feels she can't live with another dog you'll help her find a really nice flat.

My current method is to just get naimals and not tell my OH, I dont think you could hide a collie puppy but might be worth a try.

lol Get charlie to show her the puppy when you bring it home, teach him a script that says " Oh mummy its SO cute, mummy awwwwwe mummy cant we keep it....." and then poke your head around the corner and promise to clean up all the poops and wet patchs till its potty trained lol sorted!

You could say its a gift for her...

supposed gifts win every time xD
Tell her it's really your other dog in disguise.

Talk to her and make sure she's on board with the idea of a puppy before you bring it home. Puppies are bad enough, collies even worse. They aren't easy dogs.

AMEN! Tricking your partner is no solution. You both need to be on board for a new dog. And yes, collies are SUPER high energy and if you don't have a job for them...they will make one up themselves, and you WON"T like it! They can be very distructive and yappy, and can make your life miserable. You both need to be very committed to have this happen.
I suggest you hold off until you are both ready.

Whilst that's excellent advice for any one considering getting a dog, the original post is six months old
