Border Collie

The Border Collie is a breed of herding dog that originated along the borders of England, Wales and Scotland. They are, in fact, the smartest breed of dog in the world. These highly energetic dogs are often considered the world's best sheep herding dogs, and are frequently used on farms all over the world to assist with the handling of livestock. While originally bred for farm work, they have also become popular as pet and sport dogs. These dogs can be protective of a human family member and are, most of the time, affectionate to those they know. Border Collies are easily trained but need a lot of physical exercise and mental stimulation.Border Collies are an intelligent breed with an instinctive desire to work closely and intensely with a human handler. They can be very well behaved but as well can be very excitable dogs.These dogs do not fit well with families who do not have ample time to spend with their pet. If your family is active the dog will thrive but if your family isn't as active then the dog will suffer mental and physically, displaying neurotic tendencies, such as constant pacing, digging and even throwing itself against a wall.Although the primary role of the Border Collie is that of the working stock dog, dogs of this breed are becoming increasingly popular as pets. True to their working heritage, Border Collies make very demanding, energetic pets that are better off in households that can provide them with plenty of exercise and ample play with humans or other dogs. Border collies are happiest when they have a job to do. However, a job to a border collie isn't necessarily working live stock. An activity such as Frisbee, chasing and retrieving a ball, to name just a few will suffice. As long as the Border collie is in the herding/working position, (Crouched down, tail tucked between legs, eyes firmly fixed on the matter in hand), it considers it work. Border Collies are now also being used in showing, especially agility, where their speed and agility comes to good use which makes dog sports popular with Border Collie owners. However, in an appropriate home, with a dedicated, active owner, a Border Collie can be an excellent companion.Though they can be a wonderful choice for some households, Border Collies are not perfect pets for all people. For example, as with many working breeds, Border Collies can be motion-sensitive and may attempt to control the movements of family members, cats, bicycles, cars, or anything else that moves if not given enough mental and physical stimulation. These dogs are also generally not suitable for households with small children. Many Border Collies that end up in shelters or rescue groups are there because owners, who may have been attracted by their appearance and intelligence, were not prepared to meet their dog's needs O Border Collie é uma raça de cão que originou-se ao longo das fronteiras da Inglaterra, País de Gales e Escócia. Eles são, na realidade, a raça de cão mais inteligente do mundo. Estes cães são altamente energéticos frequentemente considerado o melhor do mundo pastorear ovelhas cães, e são frequentemente utilizados nas explorações agrícolas em todo o mundo para ajudar com a manipulação de animais. Embora originalmente criados para trabalhos agrícolas, têm também se tornou popular como animal de estimação e desporto cães. Estes cães podem ser protetora de um membro da família humana e são, na maioria das vezes, afetuoso para aqueles que sabem. Border Collies são facilmente treinado, mas precisamos de muita atividade física e mental stimulation.Border Collies inteligentes são uma raça com um instintivo desejo de trabalhar de perto e intensamente com um homem manipulador. Eles podem ser muito bem comportado, mas como bem pode ser muito cães emotivos .Esses cães não se encaixam bem com as famílias que não têm tempo suficiente para gastar com seu animal de estimação.

What is the biggest difference between a Border Collie and, a liberal, a leftist, a religious zealot, and a Muslim? Border Collies are highly intelligent creatures that can be reasoned with.
