Border Collies require considerable daily physical exercise and mental stimulation.
Border Collies are an intelligent breed. It is widely considered to be one of the most intelligent dog breeds on
earth. The breed has an instinctive desire to work closely and intensely with a human handler. Although the
primary role of the Border Collie is that of the working stock dog, dogs of this breed are becoming increasingly
popular as pets.
True to their working heritage, Border Collies make very demanding, energetic pets that are better off in
households that can provide them with plenty of play and exercise with humans or other dogs.Due to their
demanding personalities and need for mental stimulation and exercise, many border collies develop neurotic
behaviors in households that are not able to provide for their needs. They are famous for chewing holes in
walls and digging holes out of boredom. As a result, an alarming number of border collies end up in shelters
and rescues every year. One of the prime reasons for getting rid of a border collie is their unsuitability for
families with small children, cats, and other dogs, due to their intense desire to herd, bred into them for
hundreds of years and still one of their chief uses outside the household.
As long as the Border Collie is in the herding/working position (crouched down, tail tucked between legs, eyes
firmly fixed on the matter in hand) it considers it work.[citation needed] Their tails are about as long as their
body.
A Border Collie's tail, based on position, shows the mindset the dog is in.[citation needed] A raised, wagging tail
is called a "gay tail" by shepherds because it usually indicates the dog is excited and not concentrated on work.
The tail lowered or tucked between the legs indicates the dog is focused and ready to listen/work.
Border Collies are now also being used in showing, especially agility, where their speed and agility comes to
good use.
Though they are common choice for household pets, Border Collies have attributes that make them less suited
for certain people who have small children and cannot give them the exercise they need. As with many working
breeds, Border Collies can be motion-sensitive and they may chase vehicles occasionally or a small child in the
garden running around as these are both very similar to herding sheep.
