2nd Answer:
First read up on the breed, Border Collie, learn all you can about the breed. Educate yourself. Go to AKC dog shows and watch the border collies that are being shown. Talk to the owners about the breed (but wait until after they have shown their dog). Look at what the correct conformation should be, what genetic defects do they have as a breed? Then when you look for a pup you will actually know what to look for. Find a recommended breeder who breeds to better the breed and checks for genetic faults in the parents before being bred. Check out the temperament and conformation at 8 weeks of age. There is a standard temperament test you can follow. If the breeder is honest he or she will tell you what each pup is like but I still like to do my own temperament tests to see is any shyness, aggressiveness, etc.
1st Answer:
Take a dog bone treat, or any treat of any kind, and set it on her nose. If she can retrieve the treat without moving her body at all and just moving her neck (like good bred collie's do) then you'll know.

How can you best estimate the age of a border collie?
One way to tell the approximate age of a border collie is by their teeth. If they have all their adult teeth and the teeth are bright white, the dog is probably approximately one to two years old. As a dog ages, their teeth become stained and worn. It is an estimate on the age of a dog because a dog who aggressively chews may have worn down teeth when only a couple of years old.
