The Border Collie is a highly intelligent, hard-working dog that responds quickly and eagerly to training. He is the world's premiere sheepdog unsurpassed as a sheepdog in terms of patience, agility and stamina. He thrives on games and is willing to please. The Border Collie is even tempered, but he needs constant physical and mental activity for a well balanced dog. Excels in obedience competitions. He is very agile, and has a well proportioned body of lean muscle. He can spend hours stalking sheep, cattle, goats, ducks, chickens, large ants or anything that congregates into a herd or flock.
