Pet Animals Pet Dogs Border Collie
Having been bred over the centuries for its working abilities, Britain's Border Collie is considered the finest sheep herding dog in the world. For shepherds, the dogs' appearance is secondary to its formidable speed, agility and skill in controlling livestock. Natives of Scotland, Border Collies are notorious for their ability to "eye" sheep, or stare at the animals so intently that they are intimidated into staying with the flock. Given the ease with which Border Collies are trained, they are also outstanding obedience dogs and compete in trials in the United States and Canada. Bred for activity, these high-energy dogs are especially suitable pets for active, energetic owners.
