Breeding Border Collies of Colour Without Compromising: Conformation, Workability or Temperament
The Border Collie would be one of the most versatile breeds of dog in the world. . Border collies are highly intelligent, with an instinctive tendency to work and is readily responsive to training.
Although the Border collie originally was bred as a working dog, now they can be found living in the smallest apartments around the world and some will never know what a sheep even looks like! The Border Collie excels when given a task, be it in a working situation or even bringing back the frisbee for the 100th time for his human just to throw again.
A Border Collie needs both physical and mental stimulation they are at their most happiest when pleasing their humans, and will do almost anything that is asked of them...and do it well!
A potential Border Collie, BC for short, owner should ask him/herself if they can provide enough to keep their new puppy healthy and happy for the rest of his life. The average life span of a well-cared for Border Collie is about 12-16yrs although I have heard of dogs living into their twenties (very old for a
Border). Most will remain active almost until the end and it’s up to the owner to judge the best amount of exercise for his dog as most Borders don't even know when they have had enough themselves.
I hope that you enjoy viewing my website and getting to the people and dogs at Kaeanda Border Collies a little more. And if you have any queries or questions, feel free email me as no matter how small they may seem to you, your questions are important.
