Is a black mouth cur a better herding dog than a Collie?
I would say that a collie is better, since a black mouth cur was bred as a multi-purpose dog rather than a herding dog.

Is a border collie ok for a first EVER dog?
Definatly. A Border Colie is one of the most smartest dog breeds if not the smartest. They are easlily trained and very gentle they make a perfect family pet. They can also be protective.
They can also get into trouble. God forbid I turned my back and my border collies were opening my cabinets.
Are collies a good choice for guarding a flock of chickens and your twin one year old grandchildren?
Like any dog, it depends heavily on the training and treatment that it receives.
That being said, my parents got me a border collie when I was five. It was a puppy, and we grew up together. I had it going into kindergarten, and he passed away towards the end of my senior year of high school. During that time, he was a constant companion.
There are a few things about collies. They are a good family dog, but they will bond tighter with "their person" than others. He slept in my room and I was the one to take care of him, so to him, I was that person. He did feel protective of me. For instance, he really did not like it when my dad and I horse played. If he thought my dad was being rough or I would squeal, he was right there pushing between us (even though there was really no problem). He also had a tendency to feel the need to keep all of us kids herded. If we went too near the road or in a direction he didn't think we needed to be, he would run circles and kind of push us back. When I was smaller, he did knock me down a few times doing this. It's not something that you will have an easy time breaking them of, since that is what they are bred to do. He was also very high energy. One of us had to go out and play frisbee or get him running somehow every single day. They can also be a little too brave for their own good. One night there was someone outside my window, and he jumped right through the glass and chased them away. Unfortunately, he cut himself pretty badly and had to be taken to the vet. Mine also had a tendency to get heat spots (Florida) in the summer. I was constantly needing to treat those.
On the plus side, he was a very friendly and sweet dog. He was quite intelligent, and trained well. He loved the beach, water, and to play. He really did watch out for me. I was heartbroken when he passed away.
As far as guarding chickens, again, they have to be trained to do so. You don't want to trust ANY dog to just set them loose with your girls without some conditioning. However, collies tend to train well for this sort of thing. They are a commonly used farm dog, and if taught to be, they are quite gentle with smaller animals.
Can a border collie get a sunburn on his nose?
Yes they can. I recomend putting a small bit of suncream on the dog's nose. That way they won't get sunburnt. Some Border Collies do like to lick it of, but don't panick as this is harmless as long as you don't put too much on!
How many chicken thigh bones can a 3 year old Border Collie have per day?
None! Chicken bones should NEVER be given to animals to chew on. They are hollow, can easily splinter, and can seriously injure your animal.

What are the tennis ball size lumps on the chest of both your border collies?
It sounds as though you are talking about a band of muscle/cartilage that most bordies have across their chests. It protects them from being kicked by sheep when hearding. Most working bordies or their offspring have this.
