Temperament and personality

Border Collies are true go-getters and love to work hard. They're intelligent, eager, and known for their trainability. But before you jump into training your Border Collie, it's essential to understand that they also need plenty of mental stimulation to stay content and happy. Think puzzles, interactive games, and new challenges to keep those brains satisfied.

Exercise

Border Collies are energy-packed bundles of joy who need lots of movement to burn off their energy. Regular physical activity is crucial to keeping them happy and healthy. Take them for fun walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. And you might even consider dog sports like agility or frisbee. Just make sure to give your Border Collie enough mental and physical challenges, so they don't go searching for other forms of entertainment (like your favourite shoes).

Grooming

Border Collies have beautiful coats that require a little extra care. Regular brushing helps remove loose hair and prevent those pesky tangles. But here's a bonus - it's also a fantastic way to spend quality time with your furry friend! Don't forget to check and maintain their ears and nails regularly. With proper grooming, your Border Collie will always look their best.
