My lil guy Max is my best friend. Only had him for 8 months but he has proven to be one of the smartest dogs I’ve every owned.

Had a purebred Border Collie at a shelter I volunteered at, name was Bingo. Very hyper and playful dog, great breed. He got adopted thankfully!

We own 3 Border Collies and they have proven to be extremely intelligent, loving and faithful companions. They need a lot of attention but are worth it.One of our Border Collies taught herslef how to open our steel exterior door(It has a lever handle). We had to teach her to close it, which she learned quickly.
My recommendation is that people who are thinking about getting this breed realize the huge commitment they are. They are often reliquished to pet shelters when people find them too demanding. These dogs need stability,
routine and tons of exercise. It breaks my heart to think of them having to go through the ordeal of a shelter as they’re a very sensitive breed.

i raise, breed, rescue & train this ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL breed of furbaby and they are also the perfect family member! They LOVE children & play, work hard for and protect their family with a loyalty i could NEVER completely explain. Border Collies have been members of my family for over 45 years and will always be a part of our family…. Thanks so much for highlighting these GREAT pups! The only reminder/caution i would give to anyone considering BCs is that if YOUI do not give them a job, they WILL find one themselves, so be prepared as their own choice of job may not be a job YOU appreciate!

My Nelly is the sweetest dog – I agree that Border Collies are the most intelligent!
