So what is the story? 8 weeks is obviously quite young to get a pup. Was she born wild? Abandoned?

Did you have your last dog from a puppy? Our previous rescue was two when we got him and when we got a puppy last year as a 'replacement' it was quite a shock how much hard work they can be! I can see how people who aren't dedicated can crack and get rid of them (but don't condone it!), Woody at one is still a terror yet Maggie a four year old rescue we've got since, wild, from the streets of Romania has come in and been much easier to deal with. She obviously has issues, but that's easier than a mad pup who wants to destroy everything!

I had Molly from a puppy. I brought her in Seeleys bay she lived almost 13 years before dying very suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage. I spoiled her rotten. A bit too much really. I went the rescue route from the beginning but was unable to find a border collie after going threw about 20 Shelters and finding Only Males. Some horrible abused. I could not find a single female who was less than a 1-2 years old. I found this Border on Kijji. I brought her From a Hobby farm in Cobourg Ontario. From an eclectic lady who breeds about a litter a year on the farm and she has tons of sheep and Llamas. I made sure it wasn't a puppy mill by driving up and looking around. and it wasn't. The woman loves Animals and was very knowledgeable She cost $350 bucks. Same price as a rescue dog. I wanted a female Border Collie who didn't look like Molly hence the colour. Once you had a Border Collie you don't really want another type of dog IMO. There is something about their personalities. So I went looking all over Ontario these were the cheapest reds I could find. They start at around 700 bucks normally. I will get her spayed later. 8 weeks is about the normal times for them to find homes. She comes with Certificate but thats not impotant. I called Ruby B/C of the colour. Rather than red or reddy. Red is rare for a Border Collie. Black and whites are common. There was only 2 in this litter just by luck really.
