@jenthecagirl87 You need to do more,mine goes out every hour of the day,goes to work,she gets sleep time.30 minutes once a day is cruel,1 hour morning,i hour night,minumum walks,but also 2 or 3 times between,ideally,find them an occupation,and let them earn a living.Mine watches the Fishing rod,knows when we have a fish,but I guess we do 10 moles a day minimum walking.more weekings,and that is just as the crow flies.I bet your dog is fat?

I think you hit the nail on the head. I have three border collies that are FANTASTIC, but I do agility, obedience and sheep herding with all of them. I think they would drive me NUTS if I did not work with them as much as I do. Also they are smart which means they learn bad things and ways around the rules just as quick as they learn the good stuff so you have to be consistent and train them what you DO want, if you are a trainaholic then they are FANTASTIC!

i am glad to see that so many people love Border Collies. most of what is said here is true. They are intelligent and fast. But I disagree with you have to walk them everyday. There are other ways to entertain such an active brain and body. I have raised them for the past ten years. I still have 4 ages 5-15. TRAINING. This is the key. they know how to be fast, teach them to be slow and still. This is mental work for them. Mine live in the house and don’t get to run everyday. Enjoy.

Great video I walk my Border Collie 3-5 miles a day & once a week I do about 10miles & still he wants more, he hates being on the leash loves to swim & is a joy to own BUT if you are thinking about getting a Border Collie remember they get bored so they need to walk every day don’t get one if its going to be shut in they hate it !! ,they are very intelligent & need to be doing things they love people & always wants everything herded together give it love & you’ll get tons back

HA HA! My boarder collie is always trying to herd everything she sees…when she’s playing she grabs my foot making it very difficult for me to walk. She always wants to play but it’s difficult to play with her because when we got her as a puppy she always had heart problems…

My border collie Max, is AMAZINGLY smart I had him for a day and he learned Sit, and lie down, THAT NIGHT!!! He is so active!! and He herds my horse ALL the time… He follows me EVERYWHERE!!! And when I have to go somewhere without him he crys

My last dog Jake (collie) and I used to walk 49 miles a week in all weathers in order to keep him active and stimulated. Thats aside from playing ball and other things to keep him happy. Collies are fantastic dogs but “you have to be a collie person to own a collie dog”. How true!

my border collie is just a little bit to smart… hes a dam escape artist lol, they havent built a fence yet that will keep him in.

i love um..what great dogs, mine always herds the kids on the slide trampoline swings etc, i wouldn’t say a great guard dog but there’s no birds left on the fields after he’s chased them off.. lol

When my Bonnie first came to live with me (adopted), she tried to herd me and the cat. lol It didn’t take her long to realize that this was not appropriate. She had a big yard (fenced) and her job was to protect anything within those borders. So I do disagree with you somewhat but they are so smart, they are sneaky. lol I even have parrots and she knew to leave them alone. I miss her.

@ILive4JacobBlack if you leave then inside your house alone for more than an hour, they’ll turn it upside down!!!!!!!!

@Manesovaborjegi well whats your idea of loyalty for a dog?
September 1st, 2010 at 6:27 am
@supersandman86 Hehe! So you’d call a dog loyal if it doesn’t attack you? If that’s your criteria for a loyal dog, i wonder what kind of dogs you are used to.

Babe tried herding a car. Didn’t work out so well for her. nipping at tires.

I was told by many people how “crazy” and intense border collies are when I told them I wanted to get one. But the truth is, he’s a great fit for me. I’m active and I love to teach him something new everyday. The biggest help I heard in finally deciding to get one, was knowing that a workout is not enough for them. They need and want to be told what to do, all day every day. We do agility, frisbee trick and all sorts of other games to build his character, and help me stay in shape!

@iplehguitar I dont think so, this breed need be in contact with the nature, and run, and run, and need many work to do. The dog will suffer much frustation in a departament, is just not healthy even for you.

@jenthecagirl87 THANX CAPTAIN OBVIOUS
September 1st, 2010 at 9:18 am
they’re great famly pets. mine used to chase after me when i was little but she wouldnt attack me, thats how loyal they are.

@jenthecagirl87 i’m considering getting a border collie, but i live in an apartment (pet friendly). i have a running machine (obviously, i’ll take it slow and make sure the dog is use to the machine first) and i was thinking a 20 min jog in the morning, 20 min jog in the afternoon, and 20 min jog at night. and then 30 min of obedience in the afternoon. what do you think? is this enough?
(there will be walks outside for depositing wastes)

my border collie is lazy i think its cuz hes 6 weeks old
i amde a vid of him
September 1st, 2010 at 10:58 am
@jenthecagirl87 you can always play with him in the backyard where you throw a tennis ball or even a frisbe until you get tire…
September 1st, 2010 at 11:48 am
@Skerne I already have plans =D
run with him, stop at every park I find, do frizbe, tricks, run again to the next park, and same senario. this, 2 times a day. I work every day, but I’am not alone, so he won’t have much trouble to be left alone for like, 5 to 6 hours. will have toys and music so he can pass his boredom for the few hours alone. of course, will meet other dogs in the process. I think I have a great plan

@ssips720 show him how to, and he/she will xD
