    High energy dogs that need their space. A great dog if you have a farm or just own a lot of land that they can more or less run free on. But even a lot of people who would have enough space for many other dogs just don't have enough for a border collie. UPDATE: My parents' curent dog Bud is about half border collie. He apparently inherited the typical collie hyperactivity, but not the intelligence. Bud is a pretty good farm dog, but he's as dumb as a rock.

    The Border Collie is incredibly smart and full of energy. They pick up commands quickly and love having something to do. They’re very loyal and always stay close to their owner, but they need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. If you’re active and patient, they make an amazing companion. If you want a calm, low-maintenance dog, this isn’t the breed for you.

    border collie is a highly energetic , intelligent and easily trainable dogs breed , they can even be used in police and bomb squads team when trained properly , the dog really understands and learns very very quickly . i made the dog learn and obey sit , stand , roll , go round and What sets them apart isn’t just cleverness but a kind of restless intelligence, always searching for a puzzle to dismantle. Leave them unstimulated, and they invent their own work ,sometimes constructive, sometimes chaotic. Their stamina feels almost inexhaustible, like a furnace that never cools down.

    My Border Collie, Rio, has been with me for two years. He’s easily the smartest and most active dog I’ve ever met. He learns commands in just a few repetitions and loves games like frisbee, fetch, and agility training. His intelligence is impressive, but it also means he needs plenty of mental and physical activity every day. A quick walk isn’t enough; he needs long runs or play sessions to stay happy. Despite his high energy, Rio is incredibly loving and loyal. He senses my moods and often cuddles quietly when I’m stressed, which makes him feel more like a best friend than just a pet. Grooming requires some effort, with weekly brushing to control shedding. Pros: Extremely smart, easy to train, affectionate, perfect for active people or families. Cons: Needs lots of exercise and attention, can get destructive if bored. Rating: 4.8/5. He is a wonderful companion for owners who can match his energy and keep him engaged.

    The Border Collie is, hands down, one of the smartest and most energetic dog breeds out there. Originally bred for herding sheep, they’ve become popular not only as working dogs but as active companions for those who love a challenge. If you want a dog that’s going to keep you on your toes and constantly surprise you with its intelligence, the Border Collie is the breed for you. What makes Border Collies amazing? Incredible Intelligence If there's one thing Border Collies are known for, it’s their brainpower. They are arguably the smartest dog breed on the planet. They can learn complex commands, tricks, and tasks in a heartbeat. A Border Collie will master obedience training so quickly it will leave you in awe. They’ve even been known to learn over 200 commands! That’s like a dog with a PhD in obedience. Energy Overload These dogs are high-energy. I mean, REALLY high-energy. A Border Collie is not the type of dog to lie around the house waiting for you to make the first move. They ... Read more

    If you're looking for a smart, energetic, and loyal companion, the Border Collie is in a league of its own. Often called the most intelligent dog breed, this pup thrives on mental stimulation and purpose. I’ve never met a dog more eager to learn and please. Border Collies excel in obedience training, agility, and herding—so much that if you don't give them a job, they will find one (like herding your children or chasing every moving shadow). They're not couch potatoes; they need exercise and stimulation to stay happy. That being said, they aren’t the best fit for every household. If you live a sedentary life or don’t have time for long walks and training, this breed might become anxious or destructive. But in the right hands? A Border Collie is a dream dog—affectionate, brilliant, and always ready to work or play. Pros: ✅ Extremely intelligent and trainable ✅ Loyal and affectionate ✅ Great for active lifestyles ✅ Excellent with kids and farm life Cons: ❌ Needs LOTS of exercise and ... Read more

    I really like the Border Collie because it's one of the smartest and most energetic dog breeds. They learn new tricks quickly and love to work or play. Their loyalty is amazing — a Border Collie always stays close and tries to please its owner. I also love the way they look: their fluffy coat, intelligent eyes, and graceful movements make them really beautiful. This breed is perfect for people who enjoy an active lifestyle — you'll never be bored with a Border Collie!

    Border Collie: The Ultimate Working Dog The Border Collie is widely regarded as one of the most intelligent and hardworking dog breeds. Originally bred for herding livestock, these dogs are known for their agility, obedience, and problem-solving abilities. Border Collies are highly energetic and require ample exercise and mental stimulation. Their intelligence makes them excellent at obedience training, dog sports, and even service work. However, their high energy levels mean they are best suited for active owners who can provide them with regular physical and mental challenges. With their keen instincts and strong work ethic, Border Collies excel in various tasks, from farm work to competitive agility and obedience trials. They are also affectionate and loyal companions, forming strong bonds with their families. While they are highly trainable, Border Collies can develop behavioral issues if not properly exercised or engaged. Their herding instincts may lead to nipping or chasing,... Read more

    The Border Collie is a highly intelligent, medium-sized herding dog known for its boundless energy and work ethic. Originally bred in the border regions of England and Scotland to herd sheep, this breed is one of the smartest dogs in the world. Border Collies are agile, quick learners, and thrive on mental and physical stimulation. They are medium-sized, typically weighing 30–45 pounds, with a variety of coat colors and patterns, including the classic black and white. Border Collies are affectionate, loyal, and incredibly trainable, making them excellent companions for active families or individuals who can provide them with plenty of exercise and challenges. Whether participating in dog sports, working as herders, or simply enjoying outdoor activities, Border Collies excel when they have a job to do.Investing in a WhatsApp chatbot via WACTO can significantly improve client engagement, streamline communication, and create a more efficient guide machine.

    Extremely loyal and intelligent animals, but they need lots of room to run. If your an inner city type with a small yard, consider buying a pug.

    This is a very fun dog. I used to house sit for one, and it wouldn't leave me alone for a minute. Craved attention and if the word park was mentioned I definetely wasn't getting out of that one. Loved to play fetch, run around, jump extremely high, and act ridiculously hyper around other dogs. Great with kids and kids love this dog. I wouldn't want one, just because I would feel bad that I couldn't spend 24/7 with it. But for a family with a big yard it would be great. Or someone who needs some company cause I couldn't imagine having a down day with one of these guys around.

    These are very smart animals. They are one of the best sheep herding animals in the business. Oh, yeah, and their trainers have to know a thing or two, as well.

    There smart yes, but very active and need lot's of training and attention or they will get bored & into trouble if there not worked on a daily basis. We have 3 Border Collies and there a handful  but we love them. Id only recommend this breed to the most devoted dog lover with tons of expertise on this breed and time for them.

    If you do not have sheep, think twice about getting this breed. Incredibly intelligent, great personality and easy to train, however this is a breed that is too smart for its own good. It NEEDS a job, like it NEEDS air. If you can not provide him with that than think twice about getting one.

    BUYER BEWARE!!! Do NOT buy a Border Collie from Lacy's Border Collies, now THOMPSON'S BORDER COLLIE'S, DR. KAREN THOMPSON in NEW KENT, VIRGINIA 23124, unless you want a dog that has CLUSTER SEIZURES!! After owning an epileptic dog, we asked many times about the line before buying a puppy and were told that none of the dogs had any history of seizures. WRONG! After we saw the first seizure, we called and then they remembered about a dog seizing in the line!! They're answer was to give us another puppy. Why would we want another dog from this line?? This is unethicial and heart breaking for us to see our dog suffer and know that he is not going to enjoy a normal healthy long life. Today he seized for over 2 hours, medicated, and we had to take him to the ER. This will cost about $500.00!! Not to mention to stress on his organs, etc. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BREEDER UNLESS YOU WANT A SICK DOG AND HEART ACHE!!

    I live in New York City and have a border collie who is now 4 years old. She was brought in to a local pet store, along with other dogs, and was put up for adoption. She was 8 weeks old. I live in a small apartment and she is well adjusted and not destructive at all. I live a couple of blocks from a dog park and I take her there an hour before work and an hour after. She runs and loves to play ball and frisbee. For the most part she gets along wonderfully with other dogs except she sometimes gets aggressive towards dogs that are ill behaved. I once read a quote that 'border collies suffer no fools' which is true in my dog's case. So I must disagree with people who think border collies are not suited to be strictly pets and in a city as well! In my dog's case the quality of our time is more important than the quantity. She knows her routine and is well adjusted. I have never been subjected to any destructive behavior. And I have never formally trained her. I just speak to ... Read more

    The smartest and one of the most active breeds around, these are definately not for the city dweller. My mother bred these when I was growing up, and I came to love them, but they are a working dog more than a pet, and unless you are prepared to spend a lot of time running and exercising them, you should not have one.

    We had a border collie for 14 years and she was absolutely the smartest dog ever.  It's like she came already trained and understood English perfectly.  Very sweet temperment.  Hilarious to watch her herd the other dogs in the neighborhood.  Could turn on a dime and incredibly fast.  Great dog.

    I have three BCs, and I love them dearly. All three are very different. Misty (12) is very work orientated and confident, but has her neurotics quirks. You must watch children with her, and she absolutely MUST have a job. She has only recently become more physically affectionate in her old age, but she is absolutely, hands down, the most brilliant dog I have ever met. Norah (2) is very soft, extremely obediant, and extremely loving. She can be trusted with anyone and any creature. She is somewhat timid in that she can be cowed by a sharp word, but she is confident in wherever she goes and in meeting new people. She is a little shy of new dogs. Suzu (2) is a shelter dog, and was VERY dog aggressive when I got her. She is awesome with people of all sizes, but must be carefully watched with other dogs and cats. Anything quick moving brings out an instinct to chase which must be immediately dealt with. She knew nothing when I got her, but has learned quickly. She has proven ve... Read more
