1 - Personality: This personality-plus breed is as loyal as they come and is happiest when he has a job to do. If left to become bored and unstimulated, he can be destructive in the house and garden.
2 - Suited to: Individuals who have the time to walk, train and play with their Border Collie and also the energy to keep up with this active dog.
3 - Favourite activities: 'Catch' will rate as one of the best games ever, but agility, flyball, obedience and other competitive dog sports will rate just as highly for this work-loving dog. Being kept both physically and mentally stimulated, and being close to its owner, will make for a happy dog.
4 - Watchdog qualities: Border Collies are not known as an effective guard dog breed, but they are protective of their family and will bark if a stranger approaches the house.
5 - Backyard requirements: Being an active breed, the Border Collie will need space to run around and exercise. Make sure your yard is adequately fenced as this dog will even scale a six-foot fence if he thinks the other side is more interesting.
