Border Collie

The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog breed known for its outstanding agility, problem-solving skills, and work ethic. Originally developed in the UK for sheep herding, they excel in various activities such as agility, obedience, and search-and-rescue. Border Collies have a medium-sized, athletic build, with a keen, alert expression and a coat that can be smooth or rough. They thrive on mental and physical stimulation, making them ideal for active owners or working environments. Their strong instinct to herd and trainability require consistent, positive reinforcement to ensure they are well-behaved and fulfilled.
