Border Collies

As its name suggests, the Border Collie originated from the borders of England and Scotland. Because of their intelligence, stamina and hard-working personality, Borders have been trained to work as sheepdogs. These active dogs were mainly bred for working ability instead of its appearance. As a result, they come in many varieties of coat colors and markings and two coat types, smooth and rough. This category has questions relating to the different features of the Border Collie.

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 do border collies help disabled people?

Border Collies are what are known as Type A of high-drive dogs. They are highly intelligent, but are rarely chosen as service dogs because they have so much energy. If not properly mentally and physically stimulated, they can fixate. As well, they only respond to the training of one person. They count voice as part of a command, so each person has to train individually. This obviously is a problem for agencies devoted to training service dogs.

That said, it is not unheard-of to have a service Border Collie. Still, these are quite rare.

How cute are border collies?

They are very cute. I have a 3 year old border collie and I love how she has her own personality and she is so sweet. The only issue would be that they need something to do most of the time, so if you have a job this dog isn't the one for you. They are also very smart and react to how you are feeling at the time. One more thing is that when they are still puppies they are very hyper so give them a year and they will be your best friend.
