  • About Border Collies

    Border Collies are energetic, medium-sized dogs frequently used for work on farms. Known as "needy" dogs, they are suitable to frequent exercise, participation in dog sports and working closely with humans.
  • Natural Athletes

    The Border Collie's natural speed and stamina makes it perfect not only for herding sheep, but for recreational activity as well. They are one of the most dominant breeds in dog agility competitions and make good search and rescue dogs, though their sense of smell is not as accurate as the Bloodhound's.
  • As Show Dogs

    Border Collie's are common show dogs in Australia and New Zealand, especially at sheep dog trials, as seen in the film Babe. The breed specifications from most kennel clubs are strict. Breeds may be docked points for missing teeth and scars, which Border Collies may receive based on their increased energy.
