Border Collies are devoted clever people and incredible workaholics who openly despise a passive lifestyle and come to an indescribable delight from any activity associated with increased physical activity and energy consumption. If there is no flock of sheep nearby, the border collie will graze any other living creatures, and only an exciting game can distract him from this activity. Representatives of this breed are loyal friends, capable students, and consummate intellectuals. However, in order for the animal to have the opportunity to unleash its potential, the owner will need maximum effort: the border collie is not one of those dogs who are content with a soft bed and a mountain of food in a bowl.
A relatively new shepherd and farm dog, the border collie originally developed in the borderlands connecting England and Scotland, hence the breed’s name.
In the 19th century, farmers in the region bred sheepdogs that were the ancestors of modern border collies.
Border collies are skilled at a variety of tasks and jobs, but they are sheepherders at heart. Today, border collies are still regularly employed as shepherds, and many often compete in herding competitions.
