Border collies were originally bred and trained as sheepdogs, and their name refers to the border of England and Scotland where so many border collies worked. They are energetic, medium-sized dogs and collies are easy to train.
Description
Dogs were the first animals to become pets for humans, providing early man with a reliable hunting companion. In addition to this use, protecting the herd is thought to be the second most important task for pets, and the border collie comes from this long line of sheepdogs. In Scotland, where the Border Collie originated, the breed was actually known as the Scottish Sheepdog. As far back as the 18th century, a Scottish poet laureate noted that border collies were honest and faithful, two characteristics that still describe the breed well today. These earlier dogs learned to respond to various hand and hat signals from long distances, further proof of their intelligence. Today's border collies often respond to whistle commands, and the commands are often standardized.
