Why are border collies the best sheepdogs?
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.

Can border collies be outside dogs?
depends on the weather where you are If they have suitable shelter and care, yes, border collies are hardy enough to be strictly outside dogs. They should always have plenty of fresh water, room to run and enough to occupy their minds (toys, activities, attention). If they get bored they can be destructive (they'll dig a lot!), and they're great escape artists (not only will they dig under, they'll squeeze through small cracks and jump or climb over fences), so their yard should be very secure. They should NOT be chained or tethered if at all possible. Multiple border collies (or other dogs) can be better than a lone BC; they tend to keep each other amused & out of trouble.

My 14 weeks old border collie seems to have short hair but I saw her mom and she is long haired. Is this normal and will it grow as she gets older?
there are short hair border collies I have 2 and both parents where long haired as was there grandfather so it hair will most likely stay short Border Collies (along with several other breeds, such as shelties) have shorter coats while puppies, but their fur tends to keep on growing as they age (especially the mane) - this usually takes up to one or two years. Undoubtedly, if the mom has long hair, your BC will grow a fuller coat as she grows older. She is still a puppy, after all - just give her some more time.
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!
