Intelligent. energetic. Yours.
There's a moment every Border Collie owner knows, that first time those eyes lock onto you with an intensity that makes you wonder who's actually training whom. They don't just look at you.

The Border Collie experience
You know you're a Border Collie owner when...
●The stare. That unblinking, soul-penetrating stare that makes houseguests uncomfortable and makes you get up off the couch because clearly it's time to do something.
●Finding them herding things that should not be herded, children at the park, roomba, shadows, the wind.
●The crouch. That low, stalking approach they use on everything from squirrels to tennis balls to your other dog who just wants to nap in peace.
●Throwing a ball exactly three times and realizing they could do this for seven more hours and you absolutely cannot.
●The disappointed sigh when you sit down after only a two-mile walk, like you've personally failed their performance review.
