Features of the Border Collie
In the case of the Border Collie breed, the dogs are naturally intelligent.
However, it is still necessary to develop their working qualities and provide mental and physical stress.
Left idle, the dog is prone to self-destruction. For example, an animal may damage its paw or tear out a tuft of fur. T
herefore, the pet must constantly work.
In addition, the owner comes up with new activities for him.
They are very loyal and can be calm and selfless pack leaders.
Their many qualities make them extremely versatile dogs, distinguished by their easy-going nature, intelligence, loyalty and ability to train.
Raising the smartest Border Collie requires a lot of praise and attention.
Thanks to the outstanding intelligence inherent in the breed, the animal can be cunning and carry out tasks at its own discretion.
To prevent disobedience, you need powerful food motivation.
By nature, collies do not know how to work for a treat, and if they are not persistent enough, they can resist.
This dog breed is not recommended for owners without experience and for families with preschool children.
The dog is friendly towards children, but requires too much attention for itself.
