Border Collies have been bred for hundreds of years to work sheep. Their name comes from the fact that they were used mostly in the border counties between Scotland and England. Bred for function rather than form, the Border Collie has a wide variety within the breed. The most important factor in breeding was the dog's ability to work livestock.

The Border Collie is intelligent, agile, and possesses incredible stamina. This breed is only happy when they are working. They should not be considered as a pet unless the potential owners make a serious commitment to meeting this dog's mental and physical exercise needs. A Border Collie with nothing to do is not a happy dog, and will channel all of that intelligence and energy in to unwanted behaviors such as chewing, barking, digging, etc. They make wonderful pets for active people, especially those interested in participating in agility, fly ball, frisbee, and obedience.

Title: Babe Lost Her Master

Babe is +/- 10 years old and has spent her whole life on a horse farm where she is guard and at times, herder. Her master died unexpectedly. I go to the farm (just across the road) at least twice a day to feed Babe and the horses -- no person is on the farm at night. Would Babe be happier moving to another home or happier staying where she is -- where she has responsibilities? She\'s a happy dog during the day, but I\'m concerned about the nights. Is there any way to predict what she may prefer?

Title: border collie bitch

Hi i am just after some advice please. I have a border collie bitch who is 1 years old. I am married and have two boys , one is 3 and the other 21 months.Our collie is very spoilt, gets walked alot and has so much attention. However, she mothers my boys too much.It started once up the park when a husky came over to us and our collie growled and she ended up getting attacked. The problem i have now is i can\'t even disapline my kids without her grawling at me and a couple of times she has left bruises on my legs where she has rammed in to me. The worry is, she sees my husband as the master but has now turnt on him. Any advice!
