Energetic, intelligent, and focused, the workaholic Border Collie is renowned for its intensity, shiny coat in a wide variety of colors and length, and amazing agility. Requiring exhausting daily mental and physical exercise, Border Collies are not the right breed for the typical dog owner. This breed thrives only in homes with a willing dog owner that has the time, energy, and the commitment to provide this inexhaustible dog with what it needs to be happy and content.
