What dog is smarter a black lab or border collie?
Having had several of both - border collies are slightly more hyper than labs, though both are pretty doggone active breeds. Both are good escape artists too, if that's a concern for you. If you want a hyper dog, go with the border collie. Bred to herd sheep, they're better suited to expend more energy for a longer amount of time than the lab, who is bred to retrieve.

Do border collie get along with golden retriever?
When I got my border collie, my golden retriever was already 1 year old. At first, my border collie was really laid back (but she was only 6 weeks) and my golden retriever wasn't hurting her, but he was really wanting to play with her. Now, she is 5 months old, and she is trying to be the domanite dog. They get along great, but she sometimes thinks she can tackle the golden retriever. They are both very hyper and they have a great friendship!
