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.

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.

Can border collies be outside dogs?

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.

Do border collies shed their fur?

Yes they can. Border Collies are one dog that shouldn't be cut short, but their hair thinned down to let the air at their skin. Border Collies are noted as being a beautiful breed because of their fur and intelligent look to their eyes (they are smart, but then you know that already.) You can buy thinning scissors from a good pet store. I have one. They look like scissors, but have serrated edged teeth along the inner edge and the tip of the two blades are rounded instead of pointed like regular scissors. Instead of having your Border Collie clipped short, use the thinning sheers and be sure to groom your pet with a good brush (one recommended by a groomer.)

What is a good price for pet sitting?

All areas will differ based on many factors: * city or rural * large or small area * number of competitors * state you reside in * etc. Basically, you want to be sure you are within the normal range that your area can handle. I would recommend searching for pet sitters on the web in your area or nearby to see what they charge. Try to set up a simple price chart that is easy for you and your clients to understand. For example, charge by the amount of time you are there versus the amount of pets they have. Normal range is from $15-22 dollars per visit.
