Best Answer

These dogs are VERY hyperactive. If you get one, you'll need a big backyard, a large open field, or a park nearby. Their instincts are to herd, so if you have any small children, do NOT get a Border Collie. We had one when my sister was a baby and we had to get rid of her because she nipped at her. So, I'm saying this one more time, if you have small children, do NOT get a border collie. For food, feed it normal dry dog food like iams or purina dog chow. There are certain foods for certain needs, like strength, energy, shiny coat and teeth, and also a puppy formula. A few days after getting your border collie, go to the veterinarian to see if your border collie needs some shots or if they have worms (If they're a puppy they most likely have worms). You'll also need to take them on plenty of walks, get them lots of toys, and give them lots of attention. You can learn more about the breed in dog care books and you'll need to train your dog too.
