Dog breeds: Border Collie
Back to list of breeds
The
Border Collie is a British herding dog. This breed was created by
crossing the Harlequin, the Bearded Collie, the Smithfield and the
Bob-tailed Shepherd. This is a medium sized dog that doesn’t
get much bigger than 21 inches. Its weight ranges between 30 and
44 pounds. The Border Collie has a long fluffy coat that is predominantly
black with white marking on the muzzle, neck, chest, and underbelly.
To care for this breed you will need to brush their coat on a daily
basis. Bathing should also be done on a semi-regular basis or as
needed. Because of the thickness of their coat it is important to
check their coat regularly for ticks and other parasites. The herding
nature and high prey drive of this dog breed makes it imperative
to keep it active and entertained. Some activities that this dog
likes include agility competitions, herding, running, and chasing.
Some of the health problems that you will want to watch out for
include: joint problems, progressive retinal atrophy, and ceriod
lipofuscinosis.
