Karin's Border Collie Collection [06-10-2016] New dogs added :D

Welcome to my Border Collie Collection, also known as KBC.
(Karins Border Collie Collection.)

My collection of BC dogs started with a real BC dog: Gaell. He is a tri-color male Border Collie who has all the characteristics a BC should have.
Loyal, curious, intelligent, brave and has a big will-to-please. His presence made me love the BC breed even more and I decided to collect them in animal model form.

My first KBC was the Schleich one, without the traditional white collar, this was an odd-one-out.
After that the other Schleich BC came in my possession, the one with the agility set.
Now I have over 32 models from different brands and materials, and it is nowhere but complete.
Also customs and repaints are welcome in the KBC kennel, as they give a special dimension in de BC model range.

Though my main goal is to collect as many BC models as possible, I have two simple rules which apply to the models who are allowed in KBC.
No BC dog bigger than KBC Happy and all models must present a real 3D dog model. BC dog models that have some damage or paint loss will be fixed.

If you know a brand/model that isn't listed in my wanted list or in my collection, please let me know!

Wanted list:
- Playmobil Border Collie puppy.
- Breyer Border Collie dogs (big version) (Black/white and Tricolor.)
- Breyer Border Collie dog small version black/white.
- Leonardo Border Collie dogs, smaller size <15 cm.
- Snubbies (Epee) - Border collie "Maddie"
- Puppy In My Pocket with fur - Border collie "Freddy"
(Only in good condition due to the fur coat.)
- LIV dolls Border Collie (Brown/white with jacket XD)
- MLP: Friendship is Magic, Winona. Applejack's pet.

Hurray, you did it! Thanks for sharing your lovely border collie collection with us Soon you'll have the AAA and ELC ones as well!!

I'll keep an eye out for you

By the way, is the MEG border collie you got from Dutch Bear the same as the border collie from Animal Hospital?

Beautiful collection! That silvery one is gorgeous! Do you have a favorite?

Your poor little Yujin was being a spidey-dog and jumping off to the side He's righted himself now

Finally, we can see and enjoy your great collection of BC
They are all beautiful :))
I think, for me , the best is Safari...maybe :)
Hmmm, most of the brands are making these dogs with B/W colors.....and you showed me sooo beautiful different colors of real BC ... I hope some brands will make something different, to surprise us :))
Thank you for showing them Karin :)
..and I love your new signature by leeAnn

Hahaha, yes! XD It took me some minutes to type everything...
Still need some names though XD I can't wait to have them

Yes he is! MEG (In MY Pocket collection) became later on Animal Hospital if I'm correct

Thank you LeeAnn. If I have a favorite... oh my  
Papo is anatomical and face wise my favevorite, although the Safari LTD is in pose a gorgeous dog!
Kaiyodo dogs are also a fave, the pose, colors and size are great

Oh did I have a spidey-dog, silly BC XD Thank you!

Thank you Kosta!  
I hope some day they will, I also mis some puppies as well.
Type Border Collie Merle or Tricolor into Google and you get the most colorful dogs <3
Also Odd-eyed ones are beautiful, the white part of the 'mask' a BC has can contain a blue eye :3
Even Gaell has two colored eyes, dark brown and light brown :3

She did a great job and every time I see my posts I smile

Just a few more days to remain patient

Ah, thanks I had the first series of Animal Hospital complete (the first series that was released in the Netherlands). I just went upstairs to look for them (I'm pretty sure I have that border collie as well), but I can't find them I found a box with all the vehicles and stuff in it, but it looks like I moved all the animals out.. xD

That way of presenting a collection is very comprehensive, one can easily know what you have and with large pictures with additional information.
It is always great to see all these differences among brands and despite the big quality of some Japanese companies, that "leopard" pose of the Safari makes it outstand among all others.

That are a lot figurines of border collies!!  Great

Thankyou very much for showing all these beautyful models

As Roger writes, it is great with large photos and information about each

I love them all . But the metal one stands out, - nice, alert pose and tricolour
The one from Safari is wonderful also. Some don't like his bandana, but it does look nice on him

Thank you for sharing us your collection, Karin!
Your dogs are perfect
But why didn't you fill the names?

I love your signature Karin, too ...

Thank you Roger, I actually got the idea form your fox collection
(Collection a la Roger :3 XD)

Safari made a very good BC, with his stalking pose he fits right in!

Thank you Susanne I was a bit afraid that the photos where to big, but lukily it was not that bad :3
The metal one is a big mistery for me actually, I have no idea what the brand is etc.
But he is indeed a very nice model of a BC And of course a Tricolor <3
Bandannas are cute, but not for every dog Although the safari one can have it

Thank you Anasta Well, those are still under construction.
I always get stuck when it comes to naming my animals.
I also want to name all my horses, cats, other dogs, small pets and humans. Oh my XD

The same XD

What a gorgeous collection! We used to have a highland collie called Dj when I was little. Since then I've always loved collie dogs and was so sad to find out about the inbreeding problem. Now it is very difficult to find a highland collie like Dj. I've always longed for another collie, maybe one day ...

They are very smart aren't they?

Collection a la Roger, that's funny! I am glad my topic served to inspire yours and I hope your topic have lots of updates! Thanks for finding inspiration in my topic, that's a honour.

Such a great little pack of collies there, now you just need some sheep for them.

I shall have to keep my eyes open for a Breyer BC, they turn up around here sometimes...
Lovely collection, and great layout!

*Sees a stampede of sheep* Well, I'm looking around, but I have only one Schleich sheep and 3 Schleich lambs and a Kaiyodo little ram. Due to space problems, I don't think of herding a whole sheep flock XD

Thank you Emma! Highland Border Collie, he sounds wondefull. Oh yes, the inbreeding. Some breeders do that to obtain a 'better' line Not only BC has that problem, also other dog breeds (and cats as well). I heard from a BC owner in my city, he is with the BC Club, that sometimes wolves are bred within the lines, to obtain better blood. Not sure what to think about that...
Maybe one day

Oh they are! o.0 Gaell is at this age when he is finding things out all by himself. The more we learn him, the more he makes it his own and find his own uses for things. Funny and smart at one point, but sometimes I can just.... arhg XD Puppy Puberty....

Thank you Dust :3 They are smart, and very challenging, not a normal 'house dog'
Well, I think so If they look good and anatomical correct than he/she is welcome ^.^
Yes, resin, metal, and realistic, as long as they are not that big. Normal model size.

Do you gave animals that I can look out for? :3

and ok, so just Schleich/Papo/safari size? and are smaller ones (like kaiyodo size) also welcome?
Don't know if i will find some but at least i can try! :3 I think it's a really fun task for me to do! xD
