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.

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 many munros are there in the world?

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.

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.
