Border Collies in Family Homes

The Border Collie is known as one of the fastest-learning breeds. That intelligence is a gift, but also a responsibility: a dog without enough activity may invent its own jobs at home.

The right family is ready to invest in walks, thinking games, positive training and a routine that clearly tells the dog what is expected.

Before choosing a puppy, discuss the parents’ temperament, energy level and expectations for home life. Fit matters more than color, markings or a beautiful photo.
