Having had several of both - border collies are slightly more hyper than labs, though both are pretty doggone active breeds. Both are good escape artists too, if that's a concern for you. If you want a hyper dog, go with the border collie. Bred to herd sheep, they're better suited to expend more energy for a longer amount of time than the lab, who is bred to retrieve. BCs also have an edge in intelligence.
