    The Border Collie is a working and herding breed that is smart, energetic, and highly affectionate. As of 2019, it ranks as the 35th most popular breed for the American Kennel Club. Makes stand up to 22 inches in height, while females average about an inch less. The average dog can weigh up to 55 pounds, and they have plenty of energy to spare. You will need a lot of time to dedicate to this breed because they need time to stay occupied.
    These dogs present with a look that is muscular, yet nimble, and it remains unspoiled by the passing trends that happen in breeding. Their expression of intelligence comes from the herding eye, which is a trademark of the Border Collie. They move with balance, are highly agile, and quite durable for a dog of their size.
    Most Border Collies succeed when there is a job for them to perform. Anything that involves obedience work or herding will help to unlock the happiness of the dog. They’re not very partial to strangers or people that they feel are threatening, but the dogs are happy to get some attention from your friends. After a long day of working there is nothing that the Border Collie likes more than a nap.

      Honestly I very athletic but lazy so I see this as a win. In my days I have no activity to do due to not really having friends. So "teaching me to roll over" and get out of bed to walk or play would be a benefit to both of us. Been doing my research on this breed because it is my favorite breed.

      @@scrumbfunk just read this comment from over a month ago....that means you've had you pup for about 5 weeks....
      How's it going? Are you exhausted at the end of the day just trying to keep her out of stuff and destroying things?
      When my 14+ BC was a pup, she had a knack for getting into trouble if she didn't get enough exercise. She slept under our bed and got bored one night and we woke up to hearing her ripping the wallpaper off the wall (we wanted to eventually remove it anyway). Tore the binding off a book in the bookcase when she got big enough to reach it. Stuff usually happened when we were sleeping so I learned to take her out for a run right before bed so she'd sleep all night. She eventually grew out of the destructive phase but man did she keep us on our toes till then. But it was fun!
      I hope things are going well for you and your puppy! Too many BCs end up getting put into the rescue system because they are more work than people think. But they are so worth it. Get through the puppy phase and training phase and I promise you, your BC will be the best dog you'll ever have!!

    We had a 17 year old border collie, she was insanely intelligent. If you felt like crap she would come over and pester us until we cheered up. We had to put her down a few weeks ago due to heart failure. She had puppies and we kept one, but we had to put that one down at 15 because of cancer.

    • @revengenerd1
      @revengenerd1 Před rokem

      Ours lasted till 15, I grew up with her from 12 until I was 25 (she was a rescue dog so just turned 2 when we got her) if you pretended to cry she would nudge you and then jump up and lick you, if you still continued she started whimpering and then nudge you more. If we ever gave her bones she would keep pieces and put them under your bed pillow, if somene showed agression to you she would circle them and bark, if she was cleaning herself and you put your hand near her she would lick and nibble your hand clean, she died of kidney failure and it was one of the few times in my life I saw my dad cry, over a decade later we still speak of her with loving memories. My parents did get another border collie a few years later and shes sweet in her own way and very loving, the 1st time I went to their home after they got her she growled at me for a few minutes until she relaxed around me, now when she sees me she whines and runs up to me and jumps up and licks me, and likes to sleep on sofa beside me.

      My Border Collie mix was house trained after the first time she peed
      In the house. I never had such a quick learner. Her comprehension
      of human language is remarkable. She has never left our property or
      chased after other animals or people
      walking or on bikes passing by. She loves the company of other people
      When they come to visit. I highly recommend Border Collies .

      @issiecottrill8419 Před 3 lety +9

      @@awkward_smile._. Just be patient and make sure that your border collie gets enough exercise! Also make sure that you train them ASAP, so that they adjust and learn the rules while their brain is still young! Also when you are training them to sit, lay down, etc, use the word YES when they do it correctly, and NO when the do it incorrectly. Avoid using “good girl” because that phrase is said too often, and the may not connect “good girl” with doing something correct, rather than just being cute. (Sorry if that’s as confusing I’m not a great explainer!) Also, for their crate, I found that using scrap blankets to cushion, rather than a big pillow is much more beneficial. Blankets are much easier to wash, especially during their puppy stage. I found my blankets at Lens Mill Store. They were very inexpensive!
      My dog barely sheds, but if yours does, I advise brushing them once a week!

Maybe this?" and had her confused with the existence of multiple balls ...2 weeks later I see her juggling-rolling all 3 balls on the ground, moving her nose form one to the other, kinda like herding them...

    My 14+ yr old BC was quite a handful when she was young. She required intense activity 3 times a day (4 during the longer days of summer) just for us to keep our sanity. Approx an hour each time. If weather prevented it, she would occupy her time by dropping a ball down the basement stairs, watch it bounce all the way down then run down to get it....for hours. Her arthritis started getting bad a few years back and now she has cancer, so she sleeps most of the day.
    She was a mix and I think she must have greyhound in her cause omg she was fast. I miss watching her run and I can see it in her eyes somedays that she misses it too.

    • @revengenerd1
      @revengenerd1 Před rokem

      Ours had arthritis too and sadly died of kidney failure at 15, and she was fast until her final year where she started to struggle to get into the car or into bath, and sometimes if she wanted a cuddle.
      My parents 2nd is now almost 12 and shows no sign of slowing down, she is getting more lazy with time though but still wakes them around 7am each day.

We knew what time it was in the morning. What time it was when it was time for her 2nd run. What time it was when it time for her 3rd run. Her internal clock was better than the UTC.

    We had a tricolour. She lived to about age 14. She was between 6 and 10 months when I got her. The most marvellous dogs but they need plenty of company and around 4 hours total exercise every day over at least three times a day. Two hours isn't really enough. Remember they are sheep herders by breed. Not a dog to have if you go out to work or are likely to within the lifetime of the dog. They can live to age 18.
    Very fun as they love chasing you, and very loyal and clever.

    I had my reservations about getting a collie. We got a full bred 3 month old collie pup. I have two young kids and she took to them straight away.
    I had her house trained after about a month. She learned to give paw, sit and stay after some training. I make sure I walk her at least once a day, mostly twice a day. She has took to our family life and absolutely loves playing fetch.
    Despite my worries about her being energetic and now settling in our family but she is absolutely brilliant. Loves to play and is very obedient.
    I had to put and still do alot of time in to train her, walk her and now she is a brilliant dog. I couldn't recommend collies enough but as long as you are willing to put some time in.

    We have a puppy who is a pit mix. We know one parent was full pitbull and the other was a pit mix. Just found out today our puppy is a quarter border collie. And not only can you see the resemblance in her face but she has the same temperament 😂

    There are no down sides to a Border Collie. They're wonderful dogs and make great pets. I've had two and loved them both. We now have a rescued Aussie that is just a great a pet. You can't go wrong with either!!!

      I want to get a border collie but I’ve got to know, how much exercise do you give your border collies? I have enough time in my day to take a puppy out on a walk but I’m just not really a outdoors person and I can only spend at most 2 hours outside. Should I still get one?

      @@ranger2316 I think it is unrealistic to say they are no trouble. Owners need to know how to socialize and train them, otherwise they will herd and drive off other dogs and small children, even other adults outside the family. They tend to chase things and are very prey driven, so training with bicycles, roads, cars, cats and other pets is crucial. In fact, they can be a lot of trouble to the inexperienced owner.

      @@ranger2316 I would argue that border collies display these behaviors more intensely than many other breeds, because they are bred for their work ethic and intelligence. Many other popular breeds are bred for a look, but BCs are bred for a personality. And I'm not saying that they aren't wonderful and way easier in other ways than other popular breeds. But it is unrealistic to represent this as a breed without its own quirks, and the exercise requirement is the least of it from my experience.

    I have had four collies in the past and each has had his/her own personality and have been wonderful. I picked up my 'Buddy' before he hit the rescue farm and bloody hell did he surprise me. Ate the legs off of my furniture and terrorised all the cushions. Phew I thought what is this all about. He was manic and aggressive and nothing like a dog that I had had before. Everything he did was a dare ! Well perhaps the best thing I did was to keep my hands behind my back. He would jump right into my face and I'd just smile into his eyes ... he never once even tried to bite my nose. I did think oh shit, once in a while, but he grew out of the confrontation. It takes time with a Collie. Sure as hell don't tell him off or get angry because that negative energy is just pure destructive. He was so different to the other hounds that I had had that I took a DNA test for him, wondering if he was half wolf or something. It cam back Border Collie x Border Collie for 5 generations, not a spot of anything other. He is a Pedigree Border Collie even if a pain in the arse. So anyway, 18 months later I think he likes me. I sat down on the field yesterday whilst he was 100 yards away on cool grass after chasing the ball. He suddenly got up and came over and sat down beside me, and leaned on me as he panted off the heat from the earlier runs. It was really touching, not many folks like me to be honest and having him sit next to me was like not having to sit on my own table. I don't train him as such, I just tend to work with his natural tendencies and throw the ball where I know he is going to go etc. Folk's think he is well trained because I have learnt to work with him. What blessed irony that is :-) I loved this video :-)

    And in their early years, hire a trainer to train them while you are working. This you don't HAVE to do though.

      I would not recommend getting a border collie if you need to leave them home all day while working, especially crated. They are not happy alone and tend to go neurotic and develop bad habits as entertainment if left. They are smarter than other breeds and get bored easily. Really all they want is to be with their people.

      Good lord, don't leave a border collie in a cage for 8 hours every day of its life! These are active sensitive dogs that require mental stimulation. You will end up with a dog with behavioural problems that resents you, resents the cage and acts out in ways you won't like.
      Don't just consider your own selfish wants--consider what's best for the dog. If you can't offer it a quality life, don't get another dog.

    I have a border collie rough collie mix and I’m telling you unless you live on a farm or have tons of land and/or want to train for shows or agility DO NOT GET A BORDER COLLIE. I love my baby but she has been the most difficult dog I’ve ever had to deal with, her energy is insane it never runs out so unless you have time to entertain or go for multiple long walks a day don’t get one. Yes they are very smart, she learned tricks in 5 mins she listens and is obedient. I live in a decent sized house with a big backyard and it still isn’t enough for my border collie, so please please don’t get one unless you live on a farm. If you don’t drain that energy with 3+ hours of INTENSE exercise they chew and destroy and get into everything. 85% of border collie owners return or rehome their pups in the first 18 months of getting them because people don’t realize how difficult it is to own one.
