Breed Overview
The Border Collie is widely regarded as the most intelligent dog breed. Developed on the Anglo-Scottish border for herding livestock, they are workaholics with boundless energy and a remarkable capacity for learning. They thrive when they have a job to do and are best suited to active owners who can provide them with the physical exercise and mental stimulation they desperately need. A bored Border Collie can quickly become a destructive one.
