Advice from Border Collie owners.

My wife, daughter, and I have been researching dogs for quite awhile now. Each breed has it's upside and downsides. At one point or another we've been enamored with Brittany Spaniels, Beagles, Jack Russells, and various other breeds. We've recently come across an ad on Craigslist. The owners purchased a second dog out of impulse and realized they couldn't give the puppy the time it needs. The puppy is a border collie mix. Apparently both parents were border collie mixes. The dog is 12 weeks old.

Is there any advice that a Border Collie owner has to one that is debating rescuing one? Any information is welcomed. TIA!
