I always wanted to get a border collie. The border collie is a herding dog breed, that was bred in the Anglo-Scottish border region to herd livestock, particularly sheep. Interesting.
why would you want a border collie, do you own sheep?
Haha, no sheep - I just like collies a lot. I guess they were bred because they were so intelligent and obedient, which sounds about right to me.
well they have super long hair and shed like crazy, there's a lot of other intelligent dogs out there too
I bet they do! Collies are still employed for herding livestock throughout the world to this day.
but you don't own livestock
I like collies, true I don't have any livestock haha. Collies have a thick coat and it sheds often, and they are about medium sized. I don't want a really big dog.
maybe you should buy some livestock so you can watch the dog chase them around
Black and white coats are the most common colors in collies, but it can appear in almost any color seen in dogs.
