Recognised for its intelligence, agility, and boundless energy, the Border Collie — also known as the Scottish Sheepdog or Working Collie — is one of the most capable and trainable breeds in the world. Originating from the rugged borderlands between Scotland and England, this breed has a long-standing heritage in herding livestock.
Border Collies are known for their athletic, medium-sized build and alert expression. They possess a weather-resistant double coat, which can be either smooth or rough, and comes in a wide range of colours, including black and white, blue merle, red, sable, and tricolour. Their piercing gaze, often referred to as the “herding eye,” reflects both their intelligence and intensity.
Highly responsive, energetic, and eager to learn, Border Collies excel in a variety of activities, from agility and obedience sports to search and rescue work. They are happiest when given both mental and physical challenges, making them best suited to active homes where they can work, train, and play daily. With the right care, structure, and attention, the Border Collie is a devoted, affectionate, and loyal companion.
