Rough Collies are not typically considered good guard dogs due to their friendly and gentle nature. They are more known for their intelligence, loyalty, and ability to herd livestock.
Seem to be good, my rough collie is a legend

Yes, Rough Collies can be good at Flyball. Their intelligence, agility, and speed make them suitable for the sport, which involves racing against other dogs to complete a series of jumps and retrieve a tennis ball. Additionally, their strong work ethic and eagerness to please can enhance their performance in competitive environments. However, individual temperament and training can significantly influence their success in Flyball.
I have a collie my self and it is the sweetest dog in the world. It will lay in it's bed with my cats and keep them warm. I just can't tell you how sweet the are. There special dogs!
I have a golden and he is very good. I was able to buy 5 other dogs from the contest winnings.
Yes, very good guard dogs. They have a strong guardian instinct and are loyal to their family.
No. The breed referred to as just the "Collie" is a very different breed than the Border Collie. In fact, the Collie is usually called a Rough Collie or Smooth Collie, based on whether it has long or short hair. Some Hollywood examples of each: Lassie was a Collie. Fly from the movie Babe was a Border Collie. There are other breeds with Collie in the name, such as Bearded Collies, Farm Collies, Scotch Collies. Collie is a general herding type dog description.
Yes they can
Labrador retrievers are not bred as guard dogs, though they fit right in your pocket. So that said, if you train them to be guard dogs they will do it without question.
yes border collies are friendly. and they do live many years. they are obedient, good to train
long haired dogs are best like corgis,shelties,collies, German Shepards, labs, golden retreviers,akbash dogs,airedales and porgese water dogs etc.
Well if you get a puppy you can train the puppy to be a good guard dog. Most boxers are not timid but it depends on the environment they grew up in.
