Taking A Look At Border Collies

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you are looking for a new dog for your kids or for your family, one dog that you might consider looking at is the border collie, as border collies are gorgeous dogs that are great with people! Before you purchase a new dog for your family, however, it is smart to make sure you know as much about each dog as you can; if you have thought about maybe purchasing a border collie, read on to learn all the basic things you will need to know!

Border collies are considered to be the smartest breed of dog, which not only makes them easy to train as far as tricks go, but also makes it easy for you to keep your dog from being a "trouble maker"! Because border collies are so smart, however, you need to make sure you give their brains exercise so they do not get into trouble; this means that you will have to regularly "work out" their brain with tricks and other obedience training, or they will get bored and start "finding things to do." These things they find to do are not things you will want them to do (examples include digging in your yard and digging through your trash), so you should make sure you take the time to teach your border collie several tricks, and several days each week you should practice these tricks with them.

Border collies are also sheep herding dogs, which means that they have a lot of energy, and just as you should work out their brains, you also need to work out their bodies; this can be accomplished by having a backyard that gives them a fair amount of running room, and by taking them to the park a few times each week.

With the intelligence and beauty border collies are known for, they are one of the most popular breeds of dog; before you purchase a border collie, however, make sure you will be able to give them the time and attention they require, otherwise you might have something of a mess on your hands!
