Let's say Bonjour to Abby
Border Collie, 9 years old
My favourite thing about Abby is...
That she is an extremely chilled border collie and very relaxed about other dogs & people. I have used Abby as my demo dog in my dog training classes.
The biggest challenge with Abby is...
that she expects me to share my meals with her.
The most surprising thing about owning a Border Collie is...
Each border collie can be very different depending on what they were bred for i.e. from working stock, bred for showing, bred for pets. After having a quite chilled Abby I was not prepared for my new border collie who is hyper active.
What I wish I’d known about Border Collies is...
That the females can be very independent and not necessarily want to cuddle.
Did you know?
American psychologist Dr. Stanley Coren classified the Border Collie as the most intelligent breed of dog, ranking first out of 133 breeds.
