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.
