border collies are clever, responsive dogs that respond well to training, that is why the are the best sheep herding dogs, plus there IMMENSE speed!!!!!!!!!! Border Collies were bred to herd flocks.

It is their natural want and need to herd, and they will even herd your kids around the park if you let them, but that should not be allowed. There should be specific training to keep the dog from nipping the kids on the feet if they are playing together and the dog begins to herd one child or another.
How do border collies help disabled people?
Border Collies are what are known as Type A of high-drive dogs. They are highly intelligent, but are rarely chosen as service dogs because they have so much energy. If not properly mentally and physically stimulated, they can fixate. As well, they only respond to the training of one person. They count voice as part of a command, so each person has to train individually. This obviously is a problem for agencies devoted to training service dogs. That said, it is not unheard-of to have a service Border Collie. Still, these are quite rare.

it depends on how well you train your dog. most border collies are a little shy with strangers, so if someone pushed them beyond their comfort zone, they might snap. i have been snapped at by a border collie aussie shepherd mix, it was my fault, though. they are a herding dog, so they will nip at childrens heels. but hten there are the ones that just want to give kisses and love everyone, mine is like that. so, the border collie is not really agressive, but they are certanlly not a golden retriever.

My Border Collie, and yes he is pure bred, weighed in at a svelte 95 pounds when I last took him to the vet. He was 4 at the time and in very athletic and toned condition. He has since slowed down at bit but his appetite has not waned. He now weighs 100 pounds, but has lost very little of the inherent quickness that the breed is known for. He is 7 and very healthy.
What is a characteristic of a border collie?
Energetic among all things. Sometimes they can be a bit mean but only without proper training. Which is another thing. Border Collies are one of the hardest dogs to train. You need to read up on all the Dummies books and Idiots Guides they are all very helpful for first time owners. Border Collies also need plenty of room to run. If you dont have a big backyard, don't get a Border Collie. Without room they go insane. Even if you walk him every day he won't have enough excercise. With all the right conditions they are the best dogs you can have. I know that to be very true. I hope this helps and that I did not discourage you from getting a Border Collie. I promise it's worth it!
