Absolutely. As you probably know Border Collies are energetic and were used as herding dogs. Without proper training they can drive you crazy with their high energy (they need loads of exercise) and they can herd small children by bumping with their nose or nudging them. Border Collies are not generally snippy with children, but they don't realize how small a child is and could push a little too hard at times. Your dog must know who is boss and to listen on command. There are also special clubs around for Border Collie owners where everyone who owns a Border Collie can go for the fun, food and watch their pets run and play off that extensive energy.

i have a border collie girl and mine is called Hollie. I find you have to find a name in which you aren't embarrassed, to say/call outside when out for a walk.

Collies are immensley loyal, unaggressive and other than the docile rough collie or sometimes the border collie, collies love meeting new people and they all love children and are devoted family members.

border collies are clever, responsive dogs that respond well to training, that is why the are the best sheep herding dogs, plus there IMMENSE speed!!!!!!!!!!

Border Collies were bred to herd flocks. They need training to know when, where, and who they are allowed to herd. It is their natural want and need to herd, and they will even herd your kids around the park if you let them, but that should not be allowed. There should be specific training to keep the dog from nipping the kids on the feet if they are playing together and the dog begins to herd one child or another.

like border collies

Pure white border collies don't often survive very long. They have genetic problems caused by being bred from two merle parents. Along with the lack of pigment comes deafness, blindness (often both together), brain malformation, fits and serious digestive malfunctions. Unfortunately, merle (mottled-coloured) border collies are popular and expensive. The only way to get a merle is from another merle, but to avoid these serious problems in the pups ethical breeders will always breed a merle with a normal coloured dog. This doesn't GUARANTEE a merle, only that the pups will carry the merle gene, so bad breeders will put two merles together to make sure they get saleable merles. This is when the pure white pups appear. In some countries they are known as "lethal whites" because they're euthanised immediately. Those that do survive puppyhood have short and often difficult (and veterinarily expensive) lives and need a dedicated, experienced family to have the best life they can. This is a heavy price for any pup to pay for the sake of its breeder making money out of the otherwise normal dogs in the litter. My guess is you've seen an advertisement offering a "rare all white pup" at a high price. Hard as it may be, if you buy it you will merely be encouraging this unethical (some would say downright cruel) breeding method.

Legend has it there was a dog in Northumberland, England, who was the first border collie, called Old Hemp.

Mine weighs 80 pounds, but he's a little chubby (quarter collie 3/4 blue heeler). I think it really depends on how tall your dog gets but probably closer to around 70 pounds if they're tall, 65 if he's shorter. That's what my vet told me anyways

Some dogs with long noses include the Dachshund, the German Shepherd, the Afghan Hound, the Greyhound, and the Collie.

it depends on how well you train your dog. most border collies are a little shy with strangers, so if someone pushed them beyond their comfort zone, they might snap. i have been snapped at by a border collie aussie shepherd mix, it was my fault, though. they are a herding dog, so they will nip at childrens heels. but hten there are the ones that just want to give kisses and love everyone, mine is like that. so, the border collie is not really agressive, but they are certanlly not a golden retriever.

how old is the border collie dog bread its for school and were are they from

yes, very. border collies are herding dogs that are highly intelligent and happen to be the smartest dog. and as you know, wolves are the ancestor or all domestic and wild dogs, so they are very smart, having the brain cells of each kind.

check out a rescue centre. there are several border collies found in them at all ages. BUT if you want a puppy. then

go to epupz.co.uk

Price are:

adult dogs are normal free - 300 pounds

puppys (non-p) 50- 300 pounds

puppys (pedigree) 300-600 pounds

if is a lilac, red merle or blue merle colouring the prices will go up.

I don't know in inches but I have a 9 month border collie and he is up to my 12 year old daughters hip

that is like asking.... how many people are in the world? People are born every minute around the world. So the number of people called Megan will always change. I am a Megan myself.

You can stop a jumper from molting by either putting it in the freezer or dryer. If the jumper is made from a protein fiber, fold it up and place in the freezer for 24 hours. If it is made from a cellulose fiber, put it in the dryer for 10 minutes. If the jumper is man made, return it to the store where you purchased it because this type of material is not supposed to shed.

depends on the weather where you are If they have suitable shelter and care, yes, border collies are hardy enough to be strictly outside dogs. They should always have plenty of fresh water, room to run and enough to occupy their minds (toys, activities, attention). If they get bored they can be destructive (they'll dig a lot!), and they're great escape artists (not only will they dig under, they'll squeeze through small cracks and jump or climb over fences), so their yard should be very secure. They should NOT be chained or tethered if at all possible. Multiple border collies (or other dogs) can be better than a lone BC; they tend to keep each other amused & out of trouble.

A border collie can bite hard if you provoke it. Stay calm and put your hand out to let it sniff you. They can sense fear. They will bite you if they sense fear.

as much as it wants if your border collie isnt drinking water dont force it too because it might be sick check with your local vet

Too Many I would Say 1,000,000,000,000,000 Only in a small state... Country is pushing it...

Border Collie Dog colors are black and white, a blue or blue gray mix sometimes known as Siren, a black tri-color, chocolate brownish red, tri-colored chocolate, and sable. These are sometimes a variation of the colors red, brown, and black merle.

Hi

My family has a 5 year old border collie, and we have 2 cats and another dog.

He is an amazing dog with a great and fun personality. We got him when our kids were young and he did great from the beginning.

Make sure you have plenty of room for him to run around because all collies need to run and have space.

No. You shouldn't feed any dog milk, unless it is special dog milk.
