Dog Breeds » Border Collie Reviews

Border Collies are working dogs. They are breed to be outside all day herding sheep or similar. If you want to own a Border Collie as a pet then you will need to think about training him for either obedience competitions or working trials. Walking a Border Collie each day is not enough as they are a very intelligent breed and need to use their brains. If you have the time to spend physically and mentally exercising your Border Collie each day then you will end up with a loyal companion who will do anything you ask.

Just ask yourself whether you really want a dog that is more intelligent than you? For this reason Border Collies often get crossed with other breeds to make less intelligent and easier to manage.

If you watch obedience competitions or working trials you will notice that a high number of the dogs taking part, and more importantly winning, are Border Collies.
