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 long do border collies care for their young?
Border Collies, like many dog breeds, typically care for their puppies for about 8 to 12 weeks after birth. During this time, the mother provides essential care, including nursing, grooming, and teaching social skills. After this period, the puppies should be gradually weaned and socialized to prepare for their new homes. The mother's instinct to nurture diminishes as the puppies become more independent.
Can a border collie live strictly outside when it's -10 celsius?
Absolutely not. He would have to come inside every two hours to warm up. I wouldn't even let him out for that long. A Border Collie's coat is simply not thick enough to withstand those types of temperature.
Should you let your border collie puppy off the lead when on the beach?
It depends. Puppies are naturally very energy filled and they want to smell and chase anything and everything. This can often cause them to get lost or run away, as they follow a smell. I would say no, as it is very risky. Everything is exciting to them, and often they aren't well trained yet. Bring a long lead, and let him run around on that, but I wouldn't take off the lead until I know he would come back even with distractions.
Are chihuahuas and collies good pet together?
Um i am not quite sure on this, but i think they might not get along. Even though collies are great pets and are gentle, Chihuahuas can get aggressive (hard to believe) . But, if you get them both around the same age(puppies) they will grow up together and might like each other. Hope i helped. :)
How old can a Border Collie get?
I think that the oldest border collie ever to live was 17, so probably less than 17.
