‘I have always loved Border Collies. My infatuation with the breed started as a young child, visiting my Grandmother’s farm. She had a few different Border Collies and Border Collie crosses that were used to help work the cattle and sheep. Analyzing how fulfilled these dogs were, having a job to do, made me realize at a very young age that this is a breed that wants to work with their person.
When I was 8 years old I started dog walking. My favourite dog, Daisy, was a Border Collie crossed with an Australian Shepherd. Everyone joked that Daisy was more my dog than anybody else’s. From the age of 8 through 13, I walked Daisy every single day. I lived on the edge of the city so I would walk through cow pastures and take her down to the creek. I taught her to jump over just about anything. Each week I would teach her new tricks and her humans would always be blown away! I fell in love with how eager this breed was to learn what you wanted from them. And how quickly they picked up on new tricks’
Border Collies are not for the couch potato lifestyle. They require a lot of activity to be fulfilled and content. Not just by walking, but also stimulation of new scenery and challenges. From working livestock, to hiking the mountains, to swimming, to running, to fly ball, agility, and frisbee… A Border Collie is one of the best partners to have to complete your active lifestyle!
