A dog that made it to the Border




                      Border collie

    Border collies are native to the border region of England and Scotland.  Border collies were descendants of dogs brought by the Vikings to England.  They were bred to herd cattle.

 Border collies are workaholics.  They do best when the have energy intensive tasks to perform.  This is a very high energy, hard driving working dog.  There high energy and drive makes them unsuited for apartment life. This breed needs a lot of space to roam in.  This is a breed that needs a lot of exercise or it may get neurotic. A large house or a ranch is a more suitable living space for a border collie.  This type of dog is usually friendly to people and rarely bites people.  Due to their high energy they are not well suited for small children.

Border Collies can be up to 21 inches in height and 45 pounds in weight.
