Border Collie

Border Collies are wonderful companions when their needs are understood and they are raised and trained accordingly. They definitely require a solid basic training, plenty of exercise, and an outlet for their boundless enthusiasm. Originally bred for herding sheep, they possess a certain excitability but also a strong willingness to work, which is why they have become particularly popular in modern dog sports. Rolf C. Franck, as a Border Collie breeder, behavior consultant, and dog trainer, provides a comprehensive overview of the breed and explains how to live happily with Border Collies. He describes typical Border Collie issues, how to avoid them, and possible solutions.
