Are border collies good with small children?

Answer 1

Hi

My family has a 5 year old border collie, and we have 2 cats and another dog.

He is an amazing dog with a great and fun personality. We got him when our kids were young and he did great from the beginning.

Make sure you have plenty of room for him to run around because all collies need to run and have space.

Answer 2

they can be fine as long as they have been taught to behave nicely with children. if it is a puppy they may bite but you need to teach them not to.

i have a border collie at home 9well its cross border collie and cross golden retriever!) and i am 10 and my brother is 9. he is great with children that age and much older children too.

If you are wondering about younger ones than they are great with them because they might bark and jump around the small child but it will only do that because it is excited and wants someone to stroke it so buy one if you can i recommend them

Answer 7

It depends on how old the children are

Answer 8

Golden Retrievers are usually great with kids, and Border Collies are better with slightly older kids. It all depends on how the dog was raised when it was younger.
