Dog breed · Australia
Border Collie
Typical look — individuals vary, especially with crossbreeds and rescue moggies.
Brilliant herding dogs that need jobs: training, sport or serious daily activity. Bored collies invent their own (often unwanted) jobs.
SizeMedium
TemperamentHighly intelligent, intense, work-driven
ExerciseVery high — not a low-activity breed
GroomingModerate — brush regularly
Care notes
- Best for experienced owners who can provide mental work.
- Early training and outlets for herding instinct help.
- Not ideal as a weekend-only companion.
Discuss hips and eye tests with responsible sources. Behaviour needs matter as much as health papers.
