A collie is a herding dog and needs to work. Although herding would be a great activity for the dog, it is not always an available option. These dogs need to do something to keep them happy, frisbee, flyball, agility are all great options too.

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.
Border Collies were bred to herd sheep and guard flocks from predators.

Rough Collies can typically reach speeds of 20-30 mph when running at their fastest.
border collies are clever, responsive dogs that respond well to training, that is why the are the best sheep herding dogs, plus there IMMENSE speed!!!!!!!!!! Border Collies were bred to herd flocks. They need training to know when, where, and who they are allowed to herd. It is their natural want and need to herd, and they will even herd your kids around the park if you let them, but that should not be allowed. There should be specific training to keep the dog from nipping the kids on the feet if they are playing together and the dog begins to herd one child or another.
The Rough Collie originated from the Scottish Highlands.

NO! Border collies have endless energy and must be constantly mentally and physically stimulated. They are best, of course, where they can herd sheep, as they were bred to do.
