Some FAQs about Border Collie

They Are Extremely Smart Dogs

We cannot talk about the Border Collie without talking about his intelligence. Dog experts widely agree that the Border Collie is an intelligent workaholic. They are capable of learning a remarkable number of words and commands, and they are happiest when they are put to work every day.

According to Stanley Coren, the Border Collie is the smartest dog breed when it comes to obedience training. In fact, the world’s most intelligent dog was a Border Collie who knew over 1,000 nouns. The Border Collie’s ability to efficiently herd sheep also requires a special type of dog intelligence.

Yes! In general, Border Collies are energetic, even-tempered and eager to please, making them a good choice for a family pet. They get along well with children and other pets provided they are introduced properly.

The Border Collie is a barking breed. They are easily visually stimulated which is often why they bark so much. They will bark at anything that moves quickly, such as bikes, skate boards and the like.

First things first, yes Border Collies are easy to house train. This is because they are extremely intelligent dogs, who will quickly learn what is expected of them. If you combine this fact with positive and friendly training approaches, then you’ll soon see just how easy it is to house train your Border Collie.

Border Collies usually prefer to bond to one person. They have an inherited instinct to do so because they are designed to work with one person as a team. In family situations this can cause problems when the chosen leader is absent.

Border collies are very protective of their owners. Although they aren’t aggressive, they protect you in other ways, by putting themselves between you and any danger, by alerting you to anything unusual, and by staying close by at all times.

As one of the dog world’s most intelligent breeds, Border Collies are quick learners. Combined with their eager-to-please nature, training a Border Collie is fairly easy but their high energy and intelligence means they’re not the best choice for first time owners.

Border Collies are typically gentle and playful dogs that are good with kids and family. They are loyal and protective of their families but can be shy with new people. Border Collies are also (VERY) intelligent, active, and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation.

Although border collies are not natural guard dogs, they do happen to be exceptional watchdogs. Not only are collies hyper-aware, alert, and sensitive to their surroundings, but they’re also the world’s most intelligent breed. Nothing will slide by a border collie without them noticing and thinking about it.

BORDER COLLIE

Border Collie

The Border Collie’s reputation for intelligence reaches far beyond the borderland counties of the UK where it originated. Its excellence as a working sheepdog is legendary, and watching it in action at competitive events has become a popular spectator sport. Tireless energy, low boredom threshold, and an independent spirit make it an unsuitable pet for owners with restricted space or a sedentary lifestyle. However, this dog is highly responsive to experienced handling, and will reward commitment to training by becoming a faithful and obedient companion. The Border Collie has two coat varieties: smooth or moderately long.

The Breed History 

Scotland and Northern England were the birthplaces of this breed. Many varieties of collies including Scotch Collie, Welsh Sheepdog, and Highland Collies are intermingled in the history of this region and likely contributed to the bloodlines of the Border Collie. This breed received full recognition status in 1995. It is thought to have arisen in the 1700s.

Breeding for Function 

Developed primarily for sheep herding but also used for cattle herding, these dogs are often thought to be the “top dog” of sheep herding breeds. They were developed as gatherers not drivers, but they can be trained to do the latter also. Trainability, speed, agility, and livestock sense were key features bred into these dogs. They were also bred to love their work, and so will willingly work all day. So strong is the emphasis on breed functionality that the registries discourage showing for conformation only. Border Collies also excel at obedience and tracking and agility. Other jobs that they excel at include search and rescue, narcotics and bomb sniffing, and guide dog and assistance work.

Physical Characteristics

Height at Withers: female 18-21” (45.5-53 cm), male 19-22” (48-56 cm). 

Weight: females 27-42 lb (12-19 kg), males 30-45 lb (13.5-20.5 kg). 

Coat: Very dense smooth, rough, or medium coats are found; rough and smooth are the only permitted forms in the AKC standard. Colors include black and tan, tri-color, merle, sable, and black, usually with white markings. Solid white is not accepted. These dogs are average shedders, and should be brushed very regularly. The dense undercoat sheds out in Spring. 

Longevity: 12-15 years. 

Points of Conformation: The physical characteristics of the Border Collie are not considered a high priority, except how they contribute to their ability to work. These dogs are medium sized, and they possess a very alert expression. Their skull is broad with a moderate stop. Ears are set up and semi-erect, oval eyes are dark brown usually, though blue is acceptable in the merle, and their nose is black. A moderately arched long neck, level topline, deep thorax and well-sprung ribs characterize these dogs. The tail reaches to at least their tarsus, and though usually carried low, may be held level when excited. The body is a bit longer than high and dewclaws may be removed. Compact feet, straight limbs, and a smooth, long, low, way of going is characteristic.


Recognized Behavior Issues and Traits

eported traits include: If kept as a pet, activities such as obedience or agility are recommended to keep them challenged. They do not do well as sedentary house pets or backyard dogs because they need plenty of mental stimulation, lots of exercise, and human fellowship. They are easy to train, and love to please. If left on their own too much, they may become bored and destructive. They should not be allowed to run off-leash unless working since they may chase. They should be properly socialized as puppies and may be snappy around children as they try to herd them. They make good alert dogs for home or farm.
