That is what they were bred to do.
No. The breed referred to as just the "Collie" is a very different breed than the Border Collie. In fact, the Collie is usually called a Rough Collie or Smooth Collie, based on whether it has long or short hair. Some Hollywood examples of each: Lassie was a Collie. Fly from the movie Babe was a Border Collie. There are other breeds with Collie in the name, such as Bearded Collies, Farm Collies, Scotch Collies. Collie is a general herding type dog description.
i love border Collie's ARE GREAT FOR AGILITY ! its like they are meant for agility! border collies will do excellent in trials, why? because they are fast, agile, and listen very very good

Yes. If you train them well they are great.
I have 3 border collies they are used because they are built for it!!!! When there born they know about sheep no one teaches them its just there but you do need to train them to sit etc! they are amaizing animals and good natured
No not all border collies are hyper. it depends how you raise them. if they get no exersize and get over fed your border collie will be lazy. if you take your collie for walks about 4-7 times a week and keep him on a good diet your border collie will be fit and hyper, but they wont be over hyper even fit border collies can be lazy sometimes.
You need to consider the temperment of the dog with the personality of your daughter. If you feel they are a good match then go for it. Do research on border collies and see what their personality is like. Ask border collies owners. Anyway good luck on the job hunt.
Rough Collies are not typically considered good guard dogs due to their friendly and gentle nature. They are more known for their intelligence, loyalty, and ability to herd livestock.
Border collies are taller than Basset hounds, but Bassetts are a good deal heavier, running from about 50 - 65 lbs. A large male Border collie will be about 45 lbs.
Border Collies are bred for working ability, not for type. That means, they do not selectively breed for sizes, color, coat, etc. - good Border Collie breeders breed the exceptional working dogs, no matter what size shape or color they are. I know purebred Border Collies that are 20 lbs, and others that are 60 lbs.
Collies are excellent herding dogs because it comes natural to them. The breed is descended from generations of hard working herding dogs. The Collie was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
Border Collies are probably the best. (They are the smartest dog)
