Border Collies frequently rank #1 in dog intelligence ratings — which means they’re endlessly capable, often exhausting, and absolutely full of opinions about how you’re running the household. They were bred in the Anglo-Scottish border region for herding livestock, and that instinct doesn’t switch off just because you live in a suburb.
Because they’re a highly intelligent working breed, many Border Collies need a job or a decent substitute for it. City owners often get involved in agility, flyball, or nosework to give them an outlet. They’re not for everyone — but people who love them tend to be completely loyal to the breed.
