Border Collie

Although this breed has an outstanding reputation as a rural working dog, the Border Collie can also be a suburban man’s best friend. By Helen Frost.

With a strong passion for life, the Border Collie is highly intelligent and loves having a job to do, whether it’s herding on the farm or obedience training in the family home.

Originally from the United Kingdom, the Border Collie received its name from the fact that it was developed in the border country between Scotland and England.
