Border Collie – Raymond Terrace

Female Black and white border collie. Not desexed, has had one beautiful litter. DOB: 23.8.2021 Gentle loving nature, enjoys snuggles and playing ball. Is good with other dogs and is good around children. Has a strong herding instinct as she loves to round up the cats! Never hurts them though. I have moved into a temporary housing situation and its just not working here with my 3 dogs and the other tenants. My dogs are all finding it hard to settle and I feel it's only fair on them to rehome into a more suitable environment.

Border Collies are moderate shedders and need weekly brushing.

Origins

The exact origins of Border Collies are still shrouded in mystery. But it’s alleged that this breed developed from various sheep-herding dogs. The latter were used along the border of Scotland and England.

In the 1800s, there were different herding dogs in the Great Britain. Among them were ‘fetching dogs’, skilled at organising cattle. These dogs would also lead livestock back to their herders. They achieved this by barking or nipping at the animals; hence keeping them in line.

In a sheepdog trial conducted in 1873, Old Hemp, who is regarded the progenitor of the Border Collie, emerged triumphant. This pup was able to gather livestock in a calm and skilful manner without even barking at them.

The breed continued to be referred to as a sheepdog until 1915. After this time, their name was changed to Border Collies.

The breed gained massive popularity across the world. This aspect can be attributed to their herding skills. Currently, the Border Collie is admired for its many characteristics. These including the breed’s strong instinct and capacity to reason.

Key Characteristics Of Border Collies

Are Border Collies Family-Friendly?

Yes, they are a gentle and extremely intelligent breed.

They are very trainable but require a consistent handler.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Border Collies may suffer from:

Seizures

Retinal atrophy

Hypothyroidism

Canine Hip Dysplasia

Nature / Temperament

The Border Collie is a lively and active dog breed.

Their playfulness is off the charts. They’re also very tenacious and quick at picking up training commands.

Suitable Environment

Border Collies are best suited for country living. They thrive in outdoor environments that have pastures and farm animals.

Other Considerations

  1. Border Collies are go-getters they are born athletes with focus, stamina and enthusiasm.
  2. As herding dogs, it’s in the Border Collie’s nature to get tasks done.
  3. Border Collie are highly sensitive, they respond to the subtlest command.
  4. They herd anything that is mobile: kids, dogs, sheep and even cats. It’s advisable to keep your Border Collie in a securely fenced yard.
  5. These are workaholic canines so they thrive on physical and mental stimulation.
  6. The Border Collie is not the typical couch potato dog.

How can I take good care of my Border Collie?

Nutrition

As Border Collies are high-energy working dogs, they need a diet that is rich in protein and calories. However, each Border Collie will have unique dietary needs. For instance, Collies that spend most of their time working need a higher calorie intake.

Grooming

Like any other breed, Border Collies shed. They have hair of medium length and shed twice every year. But, it’s not unusual to find their hair around your home all-year-round.

The easiest way to reduce their shedding is by brushing them down. Weekly brushing is necessary to reduce loose hair as well as to improve your dog’s coat.

Exercise

By nature, Border Collies are a bundle of energy. These dogs are always waiting for a chance to be unleashed. The best way to exercise them is through walking, playing a game of fetch and running in open fields.

Training

Border Collies are one of the smartest breeds. They are easy to train. Yes, they learn new tricks pretty fast. But they can pick up bad habits as easily as good habits.

To prevent this, adopt from reputable Border Collie registered breeder.

Most Asked Border Collie Questions

Border Collies for sale can usually cost between $600 to $2000.

Yes, they make excellent swimmers if encouraged to do so when they’re young. Swimming is a great way to exercise these high-energy dog breed.

Yes, they are very agile. They can jump as high as 1.5m, especially if they notice something interesting on the other side.

Border Collies were bred to help in herding livestock rather than protecting them. As such, they are not very reliable guard dogs.

Most dogs bark when they are bored, and the Border Collie is no different. But with enough training and exercising, Border Collies are relatively quiet.

They are a low-maintenance dog breed. A 15-minute brushing a couple of times a week is typically enough.
