Facts about the breed

The Border Collie is one of the most intelligent dog breeds, and is known for its unique ability to herd sheep. It also has a very high work ethic and energy level. The breed originally comes from the border areas between Scotland and England, where it was used as a herding dog. The Border Collie is easily recognized by its thick, soft coat, usually in black and white or brown and white, and its alert gaze.

Farming and trade

Do you want a border collie puppy? Then we recommend contacting the Norwegian Sheep and Goat Club , which is the breed club for herding dogs. It is important to choose a seller where you get information about how the dog was bred, to ensure that you are not contributing to uncontrolled or illegal dog trade. Unfortunately, not everyone breeds in a responsible and correct way, which can lead to serious diseases in the puppies. Being well prepared and finding a reliable breeder is therefore the best thing for both you and your dog.
