Dogs need constant attention/companionship - if like a friend of mine you confine yours for long periods don't be surprised when it goes stir crazy and every chance it gets it will run wild.

Border Collies are great dogs, but totally wrong for you, they need exercise and stimulation, there still working dogs, the poor thing will go insane left by itself. Dont get one

I am an avid dog lover, please do not get one if you have to lock the poor pup up for days at a time. It's a very very cruel thing to do. I myself travel a lot so I cannot get a dog no matter how much I want one. Best to be in a settled situation to where you can tend for them. If you do have to step away have a friend who can watch them. A worst case scenario would be a doggie hotel.
Thanks everyone for the replies, you have thourougly convinced me it is a bad idea so I'm browsing t'internet for cats instead cos you dont have to take them for a walk.
