depends on the weather where you are If they have suitable shelter and care, yes, border collies are hardy enough to be strictly outside dogs. They should always have plenty of fresh water, room to run and enough to occupy their minds (toys, activities, attention). If they get bored they can be destructive (they'll dig a lot!), and they're great escape artists (not only will they dig under, they'll squeeze through small cracks and jump or climb over fences), so their yard should be very secure. They should NOT be chained or tethered if at all possible. Multiple border collies (or other dogs) can be better than a lone BC; they tend to keep each other amused & out of trouble.

∙ 9y agoA border collie could sleep outside in a kennel if it has been brought up in a house, but the dog may struggle to adjust. Typically a house dog does not do well when transitioned to an outdoor-only setting. If the dog is let into the house during the day but sleeps outside at night it may do better than if it stays outside all the time.
