I have 3 siamese cats and 2 rough collies. Having said that, border collies are an entirely different breed than rough collies. Border collies are extremely intelligent and can be excellent family members with firm training. Siamese cats are not going to be subject to training in my opinion, but they are the best of all the cat breeds in terms of intelligence. Cats and dogs are just different in how they approach life and relationships. Dogs have owners whom they worship, and cats have servants meant to bring them treats and love when they're looking for either. It's like apples and Oranges.
The smartest dog is the Border Collie. Go to dogs 101 on animalplanet.com. There is a Border collie named Venus who knows her multiplication table!!
When I got my border collie, my golden retriever was already 1 year old. At first, my border collie was really laid back (but she was only 6 weeks) and my golden retriever wasn't hurting her, but he was really wanting to play with her. Now, she is 5 months old, and she is trying to be the domanite dog. They get along great, but she sometimes thinks she can tackle the golden retriever. They are both very hyper and they have a great friendship!
A golden retriever lab would shed more than a Border Collie Lab mix. Both are very good dogs, but I think that a Golden Retriever Lab mix's are more the family type and very loyal.
Stella on Red Shoe Diaries is portrayed as a golden retriever.

The dog in the commercial and on the container packages is a mix breed of Terrier, of some sort possibly Schnauzer ,Golden Retriever and Border Collie.
No, but it is amarketing ploy used by puppy mills. It is a hybrid between a Golden Retriever and a Collie, which creates a "Golden Collie".. They carry characteristics from both breeds, in essense a mutt, but they're typically family friendly, and can be a smart dog!
Some of the smartest dog breeds include border collies and German shepherds. Other smart breeds are golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers. The four most intelligent dog breeds in order, starting with the smartest, are: border collie, poodle, German shepherd, and golden retriever.
Yes, it sure does - the only real drawback to owning a dog of either one of these beautiful and intelligent breeds.
It is all about preference. I prefer a Golden Retriever. There are good things and bad things about each one. If you are looking for more of a herding dog, then I recommend the Border Collie; however, I am sure that Golden Retrievers can be trained to herd. Golden Retrievers were originally bred to retrieve. Where the dog is going to live is also very important. Both of these breeds of dogs need lots of exercise. Golden Retrievers are also known to be great family pets. It just depends on so many things, but i hope you end up getting the right dog for you.
Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies are known for their exceptional fetching abilities. They have a strong retrieving instinct, high energy levels, and are eager to please, making them excellent at playing fetch.
Many of the sporting and herding breeds are very sensitive and responsive to their owners. Among the more famously sensitive breeds are the Cocker Spaniel (both English and American), Golden Retriever, Collie, Welsh Springer Spaniel, Border Collie, and Poodle.
