DO NOT BUY A BEARDED COLLIE! Our sad story
 

That is too bad. I've never known one with a bad temperament yet. My beardie was shy of men but just avoided the suspect ones. He liked a rare few. By and large he was a great judge of character. My Weimaraner was not found of kids, but I didnt have kids and never left my dog alone with kids. I knew a ragdoll cat breeder who sold a cat that peed all over the new family's house. It went back to the breeder and to a new home and never did it again. I am horrible about changing my ragsoll cat's litter and he has never gone outside the litter. Same breeder. I've had my cat for 15 years. While we pick pets, sadly does the pet ever get to pick its home. Sometimes animals send messages any way they can. We just cant understand what they are trying to say. Stupid humans.
