Border Collies

The choice between a male or female Border Collie largely depends on personal preference and individual temperament rather than gender. Both males and females can be equally intelligent, energetic, and trainable, but they may exhibit different personality traits. Males might be more playful and boisterous, while females can be more nurturing and focused. Ultimately, it's important to consider the specific dog's personality and how well it fits with your lifestyle.

A female collie typically has a season, or heat cycle, approximately every six to eight months. Each cycle lasts about three weeks, during which she may exhibit signs such as increased urination, behavioral changes, and swelling of the vulva. It's important for owners to monitor their dogs during this time to prevent unwanted breeding and to manage any behavioral changes.

Estimating the exact number of ticks and mites in the world is challenging due to their vast diversity and the difficulty in surveying all habitats. There are around 900 species of ticks, but mites are far more numerous, with estimates suggesting over 48,000 described species, and potentially millions of undiscovered species. Collectively, they play significant roles in ecosystems, but their population numbers can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions.

Choosing between a Dalmatian and a Border Collie depends on lifestyle and preferences. Dalmatians are known for their distinctive spots and energetic nature, making them great companions for active families. Border Collies are exceptionally intelligent and excel in obedience and agility, requiring more mental stimulation and exercise. If I had the capacity for both, their unique traits could complement each other well!

The average size of a Border Collie is typically between 18 to 22 inches in height and weighs around 30 to 45 pounds. Their size can vary slightly based on factors like genetics and gender, but they are generally considered a medium-sized breed. If you meant "knot" in reference to a specific term or context, please clarify for a more accurate response.

The exact number of autistic savants in the world is difficult to determine, as savant syndrome is rare and often underreported. It is estimated that only about 1 in 10 individuals with autism may exhibit savant abilities, which translates to a small percentage of the overall autistic population. Given that approximately 1 in 54 individuals are diagnosed with autism, the number of autistic savants could be in the tens of thousands globally, but precise figures are not available.

All dogs including border collies have dew claws.

It depends on the dogs themselves, not the breeds. Just like humans, all dogs are different and have different personalities.

All dogs, regardless of breed, have the same instincts - to hunt and live in packs (even if their pack are humans) and to protect the pack. Different breeds can, and do, live together in the same pack, often breeding to produce hybrids.

Introducing a new dog into the family is a hit and miss.

Labradors and border collies are both naturally extremely loyal and docile breeds. There should generally be no problem when mixing both of these breeds in a home. But again, it depends on the personalities of dogs themselves.

An overprotective dog for example might be cautious about introducing a new member into the pack (aka family). There might be a lot of nipping and barking and growling to warn the new dog to not betray the pack and to learn their place in the pack. It's not necessarily aggression, but it's how dogs establish social order and hierarchy amongst themselves. There is no democracy in a dog pack, there's one leader and the followers.

Introducing a new male into a family where there is already a male and female dog could sometimes cause aggression due to competition over the female. The resolution here is to get the males both neutered.

Then there are the over-friendly dogs who will be happy to accept absolutely anyone into the pack, whether it be another dog, a cat, a duck, a goat or the neighbour's mouse. Or even a grasshopper they found out in the garden (based on a true story).


You should give them both equal amounts of attention. Never favour one over the other. never send one to bed and let the other stay up longer. Feed them both at the same time.
Remind them that they are equals, no matter what their breed.

It might be a good idea to take your dog to meet the other one before you decide to take on the other. That way they have officially met and got to know each other before they become a permanent addition to their territory.


Border collies are intelligent, highly loyal, affectionate and active.
Labradors too are intelligent, incredibly loyal, affectionate and rarely aggressive unless they have to defend their family.
Both breeds are used as service dogs due to their high intelligence and sometimes work together in their industries.

Signs of a border collie being pregnant is when they stop being active after a few weeks and start whelping later on and always being lazy and laying down.

i think this is because they are either bored which is pretty easy for them to be as there young and like to have attention every second of the day or they find it fun and maybe tasty dogs are weird like that my border collie ate the new plaster of our wall down the bottom but he was left at home for 4 hours when we had to go out. if you want this to stop try buying small bones and when you are not around to play give it to them to chew on they usually last for about 3 days and they are cheap.

One way to tell the approximate age of a border collie is by their teeth. If they have all their adult teeth and the teeth are bright white, the dog is probably approximately one to two years old. As a dog ages, their teeth become stained and worn. It is an estimate on the age of a dog because a dog who aggressively chews may have worn down teeth when only a couple of years old.

They do have fur, but if it's shedding ur worried about, their not too bad, and u can always go with the option of a short haired border collie

2nd Answer:

First read up on the breed, Border Collie, learn all you can about the breed. Educate yourself. Go to AKC dog shows and watch the border collies that are being shown. Talk to the owners about the breed (but wait until after they have shown their dog). Look at what the correct conformation should be, what genetic defects do they have as a breed? Then when you look for a pup you will actually know what to look for. Find a recommended breeder who breeds to better the breed and checks for genetic faults in the parents before being bred. Check out the temperament and conformation at 8 weeks of age. There is a standard temperament test you can follow. If the breeder is honest he or she will tell you what each pup is like but I still like to do my own temperament tests to see is any shyness, aggressiveness, etc.

1st Answer:

Take a dog bone treat, or any treat of any kind, and set it on her nose. If she can retrieve the treat without moving her body at all and just moving her neck (like good bred collie's do) then you'll know.
