Border Collie Info
For a lot of years, the Border Collie has labored tirelessly in his service to us. As one of the best herding breeds in the world he has gathered large herds from great distances and found lost stock in the worst of weather. But more than a herding dog, he has also been a war dog, a sled dog, a therapy and assistance dog, a competitive sports dog, a search and rescue dog, a hunting dog, and always a companion dog. Whatever we have asked the Border Collie to do, he has done. Below are examples of what the border collie can excel at:
