Are all border collies hyper?

No not all border collies are hyper. it depends how you raise them. if they get no exersize and get over fed your border collie will be lazy. if you take your collie for walks about 4-7 times a week and keep him on a good diet your border collie will be fit and hyper, but they wont be over hyper even fit border collies can be lazy sometimes.


How are border collies with other dogs?

In my experience, it all depends on how old the dog is. If the Border Collie is older, it will try to fight (playfully) with the younger dog to display its dominance. this could become a habit after a while and if the other dog grows up to be large, your dog may get hurt. If the Border Collie is younger, it will try to fight up to gain dominance. but with proper training, you can get them to get along. This would not fix the situation of the other dog if it is younger because it would have the influence of the ever persistent Border Collie to keep it "fighting". Hope this helps!


How do you stop your border collie being destructive?

Your dog is most likely being destructive because it is bored or has anxiety issues. Try giving your dog something to keep it occupied. A kong toy filled with dog friendly food is one of my favorites. Also, if your dog gets the necessary exercise it requires, it will be less likely to be bored and destructive.

Can a border collie dog live in kerala India climate?

Yes, a Border Collie can adapt to the climate in Kerala, India, but there are some considerations. Kerala has a tropical climate with high humidity and temperatures, which can be challenging for this breed, known for its energy and working nature. Providing adequate shade, hydration, and avoiding excessive outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day will help keep the dog comfortable. Regular grooming and attention to their health can also ensure they thrive in this environment.

Can a border collie live in Michigan if it is kept inside?

Border collies are working dogs, they are bred to live in all kinds of conditions. If you are going to keep it inside it will need at least a half hour to an hour of exercise everyday. It would be best to have a yard to let the dog in to entertain itself. Added: Border Collies are very active. This is why they need there exercise as much as possible. The cold weather will not affect them that bad.


Is it possible that south America will let you breed a Maned Wolf with your Border Collie to get 60 percent Maned Wolf and 10 percent 10 percent 10 percent and more 10 percent Border Collie?

Yes, it is possible. P.S. But, if you are going to mate a Maned Wolf, or any wolf in that manner, with your Border Collie, and the percentage is more than 60%, say, 65%, 70%, or even 80%, then you need to get a lisenced permit from the Florida Conservation Bureau. This is the law! But, if the percentage is below 80%, 70%, or even 65%, and is lower, like, say, 50%, 40%, 35.5%, 30%, 20%, or even 10%, then you don't need a permit from the Florida Conservation Bureau. Please keep this in mind for future reference. Merci.


Where can you get a Border Collie?

You can get a Border Collie from a reputable dog breeder if you want a puppy with a known pedigree and history or is interested in showing your dog. A breeder recommended by a friend or a relative is the best, as some breeders may sell unhealthy puppies.You may also get a Border Collie from an animal shelter. Not only are you offering a new home to an animal (at a usually inexpensive price), but you can be sure that it is healthy. However, potential behaviour problems developed from the past may be unknown.Acquiring a Border Collie from a friend or relative is also possible, and it is very unlikely that you will end up with a sick dog. However, the chances of getting a dog through this method are odd as most owners want to keep their dogs, few are interested in breeding their dogs and the people you know may not own a Border Collie.It is also possible to get a Border Collie from a pet shop, yet this is highly notrecommended as many pet shops are known to sell puppies that are sick or have potential health problems. Many pet shop owners are ignorant about the puppies' health, as well as puppy mills, which is where most pet shop dogs come from. Many puppy mill owners are known to keep their dogs in small cages that were infrequently clean, leading to the spread of diseases as well as causing cruelty to animals.No matter which way you acquired your dog, it is compulsory to take it to a reputable veterinary clinic for a check-up within three days after its arrival.


What breed of dog is in the Boniva commercials with Sally Field?

It looks like at least part border collie, maybe a border/golden cross. The body shape, markings, etc. look like a border only a bit bigger. Good-looking dog! (Is it Ms. Field's dog? They certainly look like good friends.) *** I think he's got some Great Pyrenees in him - mixed with Border Collie. My dog looks a lot like him, but is larger - at 130 pounds. (I just had his DNA checked.) That could explain why he looks like a big border. I'm thinking he's not as big as your dog, but he's pretty good-sized. This is actually an English shepherd, which is a dog related to the border collie (actually the base stock from which border collies were developed from are the English shepherd) you might also find them called Farm Collies. I just got a puppy that is related to Sally's dog, he is her great - uncle, and yes, that dog does belong to her, according to my puppy's breeders! It's not Sally Field's dog. She told Brian Williams on NBC News that she only met the dog the day of the filming. She was given dog food to keep in her pockets to keep the dog happy. :)


Are Border Collies easy to train?

Absolutely. As you probably know Border Collies are energetic and were used as herding dogs. Without proper training they can drive you crazy with their high energy (they need loads of exercise) and they can herd small children by bumping with their nose or nudging them. Border Collies are not generally snippy with children, but they don't realize how small a child is and could push a little too hard at times. Your dog must know who is boss and to listen on command. There are also special clubs around for Border Collie owners where everyone who owns a Border Collie can go for the fun, food and watch their pets run and play off that extensive energy.
