Border Collie Dog Breeders

Border Collie dog breeders agree that the most significant personality trait of Border Collies is their willingness to please and their desire for acceptance. They work as herders with laser like focus managing the fleeting sheep with an impressive structure. They pay attention to the livestock and notice every reaction and then they counter that by moving into position to take advantage, like a chess match. Bred by Border Collie dog breeders to be world class livestock herding. Border Collies are respected for their athletic ability, intelligence, and unmatched work ethic.

 

Border Collies are heading or gathering herders, as opposed to heelers: their instinct is to run wide around a herd or flock, gather the animals, and return them to the shepherd. Border Collies can be (and are) taught to drive stock away from the shepherd, but they do not usually do it by instinct.

 

Typical Border Collies are workaholics. They are happiest when they have a job to do, whether that job be herding, obedience, agility, or any of the other active occupations and dog sports at which they excel. They are extremely quick, high-energy, busy dogs, and they must have plenty of exercise. They are bred for endurance: a working Border Collie is able to run many miles a day over difficult terrain, then go out and do it again the next day; a one - or two - mile run is barely a warm-up this athletic breed. People without the time to give a dog plenty of good, vigorous exercise every day are usually happier with a calmer breed. A bored Border Collie can become neurotic, obsessive, and destructive.
