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.

Look in local newspaper listings, it will vary with your location. I would also highly advise you to look on Petfinder.org to find your new family member. Shelter dogs are wonderful, and you can find all ages, breeds, sizes, colors, you name it! Remember to fix your pet- too many are being killed because there just aren't enough good homes!
Why do border collies pee in the house in the same room?
It's not only border collies that do it. I have a border collie sheltie mix and he pees in the house in the same room, also.
Its a territorial thing. the dog finds a nice place that's comfortable and pees there. Once he pees, his scent is all over that one room, that's why it's important to clean it up right away. Your dog will then return to wherever his scent is and pee there until he finds a new spot that he likes better. Don't let him have the freedom of peeing wherever he wants to, he'll soon take over the house and feel like he's the dominant one. Try crate training, regular walks, and lots and lots of positive reinforcement. Herding dogs like shelties and border collies hate being scolded and only want to please, so really praise them when they do something good, and a small but stern correction when they do something bad will be enough.
Good luck! Hope this helped!

How do you stop a border collie from pulling?
by buying a chain that you fold in half an loop round the dogs neck an when they pull it will choke them but there soon no what happens if they pull and they will soon stop
The answer above is a very unnecessary and outdated training method. If you would like to teach your dog how to walk to heel, this is simple and easy to do, if your dog pulls forward just stop, the dog will get bored and come back to you or make the lead loose ( if this doesn't happen after a few minutes then walk in the opposite direction for a few paces, do not pull the dog as this will un-train the learnt behaviour of not pulling) , at that point reward the dog either with verbal praise or a treat, if you repeat this several times the dog learns that by your side is a more rewarding place to be than pulling infront, because all the dog wants to do is to walk forward so by only letting it go forward when its by your side is a reward in itself. Please treat your dog with respect and kindness, this method is far more enjoyable for you and your dog than a choke chain.
