They are very intelligent. In less than a week my border collie taught me how to roll over.

I hady border collie for 13 years until recently. We brought my friend from Scotland when we moved to Canada. Never been so sad in my life without him. Cherish your furry friends.

We had a 17 year old border collie, she was insanely intelligent. If you felt like crap she would come over and pester us until we cheered up. We had to put her down a few weeks ago due to heart failure. She had puppies and we kept one, but we had to put that one down at 15 because of cancer.

I’ve had a border collie and now a border collie mix. They’re smart, fun and learn very fast. Beautiful breed.

I miss my border collie. He was the greatest dog ever.

Have a 15 month old border and she’s an absolutely highly intelligent taught her some tricks and she adapted them to open kitchen draws to get at hidden treats and balls

There is no "bad". They're the best doggos ever.

I have a border collie and she is the best behaved dog I have ever met.

We had a borador mix, he was really smart! We managed to potty train him within 3 days.

owners must understand sarcasm with border collies! I love their sense of humor. Nothing like other dogs. Please don't own one if you want a lap dog. It's not fair to either one of you. Humans need training.

we used to call him Dog Corleone, the dogfather. he ruled over the family with an iron paw. but he never hurt those he loved, and never betrayed those who loved him in return. he passed at the age of 18. we were never able to replace him!😪

Used to have one and grew up with him, he really showed why they called dogs "Mans best friend" and nothing hurt more than his passing

to play fetch for endless hours anywhere, yes that's what every dog owner wants

I have a border Aussie, he’s 5yo and he’s incredible, such a fun dog. After him, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to any other breed. Not only is he very smart but such a sweet dog.

I wanted to play a prank on my bordercollie so I got 3 identical balls, and was like "do you like this? Or this? Why not this? Maybe this?" and had her confused with the existence of multiple balls ...2 weeks later I see her juggling-rolling all 3 balls on the ground, moving her nose form one to the other, kinda like herding them... Prank-tease turned into a game 😂😂😂

I have a border collie/ collie mix. His mind is pure border collie and he’s so smart. Soo smart, easy to handle, easy to train, energetic and understands so much.

Border collies will also be the first breed to be able to perform open heart surgery. They are so intelligent!

My BC Zoey is about 3½ and she's the best dog ever. I play frisbee for about an hour a day with her. She absolutely loves it. She is so friendly and attentive. I couldn't ask for more. 🧡

I hope one day I will be able to keep a border collie, my lifestyle doesn't match these dogs needs but in spite of that I would love to have one of these dogs especially if I ever happened to live in the countryside, such beautiful and smart animals ❤️

My border collie has never herded sheep, but he herds other dogs & sometimes people.

i had a 2 border collies growing up. they were incredibly smart and obedient, we walked them off the lead everywhere, they knew the dangers of roads and not to go near people unless they came to them. of course all that went out the window if we were ever near a field of sheep, their instincts would kick in and they’d be off trying to round up the sheep and we’d have to apologise to a very annoyed farmer lol

My 14+ yr old BC was quite a handful when she was young. She required intense activity 3 times a day (4 during the longer days of summer) just for us to keep our sanity. Approx an hour each time. If weather prevented it, she would occupy her time by dropping a ball down the basement stairs, watch it bounce all the way down then run down to get it....for hours. Her arthritis started getting bad a few years back and now she has cancer, so she sleeps most of the day. She was a mix and I think she must have greyhound in her cause omg she was fast. I miss watching her run and I can see it in her eyes somedays that she misses it too.

I’ve owned a border collie for years now, he knew how to take a walk without a leash, he knew where he was at all times, he was a smart dog. He recently died a few months ago. And we will remember him forever. Totally recommend a border collie if you’re looking to adopt a dog. 😄

the best dogs on the planet very loyal

I grew up with a border collie called 'skitz' I guess he was a little crazy when he was younger! He always looked out for us as kids. He would bark words like 'okay'!!! Never walked on a lead! My dad would get drunk and pass out in a field but the dog would always come home 🙈😂😭❤

I recently got a border collie so this list was very helpful and she’s so cute and very smart

When you look after a border collie, he does your homework in return.

I have one and he is the best learned everything really quick definitely would recommend a border collie as your first dog of choice.

My favorite dog breed

Best dog all around period!!..Like human!

I had my reservations about getting a collie. We got a full bred 3 month old collie pup. I have two young kids and she took to them straight away. I had her house trained after about a month. She learned to give paw, sit and stay after some training. I make sure I walk her at least once a day, mostly twice a day. She has took to our family life and absolutely loves playing fetch. Despite my worries about her being energetic and now settling in our family but she is absolutely brilliant. Loves to play and is very obedient. I had to put and still do alot of time in to train her, walk her and now she is a brilliant dog. I couldn't recommend collies enough but as long as you are willing to put some time in.

Does chasing cars count as a job? I assume it does Also my collie hates frisbees, only catches footballs

I am a border collie. Really frickin smart and energetic. learns fast.

We had a tricolour. She lived to about age 14. She was between 6 and 10 months when I got her. The most marvellous dogs but they need plenty of company and around 4 hours total exercise every day over at least three times a day. Two hours isn't really enough. Remember they are sheep herders by breed. Not a dog to have if you go out to work or are likely to within the lifetime of the dog. They can live to age 18. Very fun as they love chasing you, and very loyal and clever.

I had a suzi Collie which was very loving and showed a lot of caring and commpassionate

My border collie, Scout, is the best dog ever. She does not need commands, I swear that she can read my mind. 😊

I have a 2yr old bordercollie and i bring him everywhere with me WITHOUT A LEASH. I treat him like he is my son and everyone in the street is amazed that we go everywhere off leash

My boarder collie mix is a little under a year and a half old and she is starting to chill out a little bit more. I usually take her on a 2 or more mile run , lots of walks and a lot of playing in the back yard. By 6 or 7 pm my dog turns into a couch potato 😂

border colie is not that hard as they make out to be i have one hes happy with 30 minutes run and then hes tired and home

one con with border collie, having to stimulate this dog every second is gonna be heck of a pain.

My dog is a border collie and she's the sweetest. Love her so much 💝

I have two, those are extraordinary they lové there human more than anything . I love them so much .

I have a border collie and a maltipoo. My border collie sees my maltipoo as a sheep, so he always herds him! 🤣

the cons are not a reflection of the dog but of the owner. I had one for 16 years and he was the best dog ever. I have new dogs now but none will be my Bobby. I have a shrine for him with his ashes and dog bowl all his toys and brush in my house. Th e border collie is the best dog ever if you are an owner up for the challenge.

fiercely intelligent dogs

My Border Collie has the same markings on his face as Abbath from Immortal. Consequently, I named my Border Collie "Abbath". He's a little crazy and super hyper, but Abbath is a good boy. :)

Im getting a border collie in a few weeks and plus my familly has cattle so i think its the best dog we could get

There are no down sides to a Border Collie. They're wonderful dogs and make great pets. I've had two and loved them both. We now have a rescued Aussie that is just a great a pet. You can't go wrong with either!!!

I have 2 border collies one is all white and named Luna and the other is black and white and her name is Oreo!! They are siblings and both female and they are 3 years old!!

I have one 11 months old. His name is “ Riley Baby” lol that’s my baby. He’s so protective and JEALOUS. Lol

Excellent documentary, thank you so much 😃

A way to stop a dog from chasing bicycles - have a cup of cold water at the ready and aim it at the dog's face - it works every time in stopping dogs from chasing bicycles.

Collie and Malinois a perfect combo...

I have had four collies in the past and each has had his/her own personality and have been wonderful. I picked up my 'Buddy' before he hit the rescue farm and bloody hell did he surprise me. Ate the legs off of my furniture and terrorised all the cushions. Phew I thought what is this all about. He was manic and aggressive and nothing like a dog that I had had before. Everything he did was a dare ! Well perhaps the best thing I did was to keep my hands behind my back. He would jump right into my face and I'd just smile into his eyes ... he never once even tried to bite my nose. I did think oh shit, once in a while, but he grew out of the confrontation. It takes time with a Collie. Sure as hell don't tell him off or get angry because that negative energy is just pure destructive. He was so different to the other hounds that I had had that I took a DNA test for him, wondering if he was half wolf or something. It cam back Border Collie x Border Collie for 5 generations, not a spot of anything other. He is a Pedigree Border Collie even if a pain in the arse. So anyway, 18 months later I think he likes me. I sat down on the field yesterday whilst he was 100 yards away on cool grass after chasing the ball. He suddenly got up and came over and sat down beside me, and leaned on me as he panted off the heat from the earlier runs. It was really touching, not many folks like me to be honest and having him sit next to me was like not having to sit on my own table. I don't train him as such, I just tend to work with his natural tendencies and throw the ball where I know he is going to go etc. Folk's think he is well trained because I have learnt to work with him. What blessed irony that is :-) I loved this video :-)

My border collie name is shailu, he is the best dog

Pros of a border collie: Everything Cons: nothing

There’s no bad border collie as far as I’m concerned.🇬🇧

Just picked up my brand new border collie puppy, 800kms from home, in another state 😂

in ALL honesty i did do + or PROBABLY will SOMEWHAT like border collies + have had a nice experience with them so far

I have a border collie

There is nothing bad about Borders.

We have a puppy who is a pit mix. We know one parent was full pitbull and the other was a pit mix. Just found out today our puppy is a quarter border collie. And not only can you see the resemblance in her face but she has the same temperament 😂

I really want this dog

I Bring them to 18 holes golf course after 18 for me i already very tired but for them it is like where is my main course.

Just give em lots of toys and different arenas for them to play in

I have a Border Collie mix with pitbull and I can’t stand him every night he jumps the fence and wanders around at night comes back around 5 am waiting for me to open the gate and sleeps all day. He jumps high.

I have two bordercollies myself they are the most amazing breath there is. They have a amazing personality. I disagree with the time she is telling in this video. There working dogs but on the farm there somtimes not working for a week. And people always make the mistake that they think that border collies are working Al day everyday..... I do Frisbee with mine once a week and agility. And swimming if the weather is nice. And mine likes nothing beter that a good combo nap al day long 😂 So everyday 2 hours is not completely true.

I might be getting a border collie tomorrow and I am so excited!! This is going to be my 2nd dog ever, since I’m only 13-15 :D

Thank you for information🙏🙏

Border Collie sind die besten Hunde der Welt 😍 ich liebe meinen Border über alles ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

They were bred to be working dogs in Northumberland, not the fields of Scotland hence the name *Border* Collie - Anglo-Scottish border. Old Hemp was from Northumberland. Get it right

Cons? CONS?????? There are no cons to owning a border collie.

A Dog Year (2009) is the title of a movie starring Jeff Bridges that shows how hard is it to have them around

I've actually heard herding training is a way to get that 2 hour energy out! Or swimming! So, for those who are worried work would get in the way but adore border collies as a dream pet, you can do this as an extra bit. And in their early years, hire a trainer to train them while you are working. This you don't HAVE to do though.

I taught my shepherd/border collie mix to play fetch in one day

I have a border collie rough collie mix and I’m telling you unless you live on a farm or have tons of land and/or want to train for shows or agility DO NOT GET A BORDER COLLIE. I love my baby but she has been the most difficult dog I’ve ever had to deal with, her energy is insane it never runs out so unless you have time to entertain or go for multiple long walks a day don’t get one. Yes they are very smart, she learned tricks in 5 mins she listens and is obedient. I live in a decent sized house with a big backyard and it still isn’t enough for my border collie, so please please don’t get one unless you live on a farm. If you don’t drain that energy with 3+ hours of INTENSE exercise they chew and destroy and get into everything. 85% of border collie owners return or rehome their pups in the first 18 months of getting them because people don’t realize how difficult it is to own one.

My 7 hour old collie can do so many tricks

My mix (we think) came to me as a gift. No idea about the breed. He survived almost a year after being diagnosed with diabetes caused by Cushing’s disease. I can see how they aren’t for everyone. I’m considering another one.

Can a person own 1 of these dogs in a mobile home?

Cute dogs! 🐶🐕

I love my border collie 2 more days and his 9 months

Moment I heard that voice I was like nope

Mine can open doors, so a good set of locks doesn't hurt

How long do they sleep for

cons? you need to keep em occupied because they crave active time and cant survice passive life.

I am getting a border collie

My border mix is practically refusing to potty train 😭 I'm trying to figure her out but it feels like I'm a newborn mom trying to learn her new baby!

So, I am a good boy?

I have two border collies😂😂 Sweetest babies in the world.. got them during covid tho so they haven't been in contact with like any other dog for like the first two years of their life which makes them really antsy now.. Any tips for this?? Also funny story.. didnt know about theie jumping abliilty.. and boy can they jump.we had to change the fence like four times and now it's taller than us😂😂😂

My border collie pokes a lot but never got a nip from him, his sons.... different story.....not safe around small children. The mother , a springador, loves nipping my arse when I pick up stuff from the ground. Cats are safe around my dogs but 3 unlucky turkeys became the female's favourite meal in one week. Conclusion :I love them so much that I would be afraid to get a chihuahua :P

my dog has arthurites

How to buy baby border collie

Nice

Can it run 10-12 km daily to keep up with me?

After watching this video I think getting a border collie in a small apartment with no dog training experience is a great idea.

I have a 3 and a half months old border collie and all I have to say is ................................................................................................... please help me. lol

Fan from India

My Border Collie Juliette is highly upset over your video and is demanding equal time. Got my puppy Dec 2021 she is about 5 months old.

How much hours a day do they need exercise? Please anser
