A collie is a breed of dog which has been bred to herd livestock i.e. cows or sheep. They are highly active dogs which require a huge amount of mental and physical stimulation daily. They are easily trained but can sometimes act territorially aggressive and possessive of people. The will also often nip and bite (usually small children or nervous people), as this is one of the ways in which they were taught to keep livestock under control.

A retriever is a dog which was bred a hunter's companion/aide. They are bred not to hunt, but to fetch and return whatever the hunter kills without damaging it. They require less stimulation than collies, as the were not bred to be constantly active - they often had to sit silently in hiding with their hunter/owner for hours on end. They are also much more trustworthy around people, as they were bred never to harm any creature, only to fetch them!

Do border collie get along with golden retriever?

When I got my border collie, my golden retriever was already 1 year old. At first, my border collie was really laid back (but she was only 6 weeks) and my golden retriever wasn't hurting her, but he was really wanting to play with her. Now, she is 5 months old, and she is trying to be the domanite dog. They get along great, but she sometimes thinks she can tackle the golden retriever. They are both very hyper and they have a great friendship!
