She was not left tied up outside a shop I was right next to her, she has not been left alone one moment while she has been in heat.
Just pure coincidence she jerked the lead while he wasnt holding it tightlly trying to untangle her and stop her hurtin her leg.

The reason she stresses when he leaves her outside a shop (and it is only this shop) is because once she was tied up outside it and some neds beat her up. apart from this she has an amazing temperament.

the collie is not normaly well behaved. every bitch in heat within a 5mile radius of him, he's there. even if they are in there own dog run (my neighbour across the field has 2 labs and wen they r in heat the collie shits on her washing and wrecks her garden). he is ALWAYS gettin out, followoin after bitches in heat, crossin busy roads and they have been told to make fence secure several times by community wardens. also his owners dont walk him.

it is impossible not to excercise her while in heat as they share a garden and it is unsuitable to let a dog in (they are awaiting a new house) his missus is 3 weeks to go until baby born and the dog drives her mad if she doesnt get a walk, the neightbour hates dogs and complaines when the dog moans needin to go out.

as i said, i have been encouraging him not to breed from her. and we have been EXTREMELY careful with her since she came into heat. being irresponsible would probably include leaving her in teh same room alone with the male entire staff? no. they have been kept seperate and when they cant be watched they are crated.
