The Border Collie

How many breeds of dogs do you know? One of them is the collie breed. As you can see in this video, the Border Collie comes from an intelligent breed. It is widely considered to be one of the most intelligent dogs.

The Border Collie is a working stock dog. It requires quite a lot of daily physical exercise and mental development. It makes a very demanding, energetic pet that is better off in a household that can provide it with plenty of play and exercise with humans or other dogs. It chews holes in walls and digs holes when it is bored.

It can be motion-sensitive and it may chase a moving vehicle. The natural life span of the Border Collie is between 10 and 17 years, with an average life span of 12 years.
