Can you cut a border collies hair for the summer?
No. You should never shave a border collie!
These dogs have a soft undercoat for insulation AND a longer outer coat for protection against wind, rain etc. If you shave the dog, it will have no protection against the elements and will be very susceptible to illness as the wind, rain & snow can soak all the way to its skin.
Also, the dog's outer coat may never grow back properly if you shave it off, so you run the risk of ruining your dog's appearance forever.
Border Collie's are made to be long coated so DONT shave a Border Collie EVER

GSDs don't need as much exercise and can be kept as apartment dogs if given fair exercise BCs are not recommended for apartments because of there very high exercise needs.
How many times a day should you walk your border collie?
you really shouldn't walk a puppy of any kind that long because it's bones aren't fully developed. You should walk a puppy for atleast 20 minutes.
~
WRONG!! you misread the question!
You shouldn't walk your puppy until it's had it's 3rd injection at 4 months old. Then when the vet says it's ok, you can take him out for walks two or three times a day. Always have water on hand, just in case. Bring some treats along, too. Keep the walks 10- 15 mins when first starting out, then you can extend then to 30 mins at about 8 months, then up to an hour *after* your puppy is one year old. Most people who take their dogs out for an hour walk before the puppy is old enough, they will get tiredand have to stop. If tha does happen when walking, give the dog some water.
How fast can a border collie run in mph?
I put a Garmin 201 GPS on my 1 year old Collies harness and recorded peaks of 24.7 knots - just over 28 miles per hour. A fully grown dog 18 months + and slightly larger would be capable of 30 - 35mph in short bursts. Not a huge speed but collies are by far the most agile dogs - there are few that can achieve the same turn rate. johnwelch@ihug.co.nz

Turkeys do not make good pets. The males become combative when they mature. Not really. They are the ultimate "bird brain." Turkeys are so stupid that they have been known to look up during a rainstorm and drown themselves. Dogs make good pets because they are in the wolf family. Wolves are known for their "pack mentality", meaning that they will do whatever is necessary for the survival of the pack. If a dog (wolf) is adopted into YOUR pack (family), they will often demonstrate those same characteristics of loyalty. Those are the traits that make a good pet. Dogs are capable of comlex behaviors that can make them excellent pets. Turkeys, on the other hand, can make excellent processors of food, very efficently turning it into turkey fertilizer.
