Border Collie Mix: Your Complete Guide To 8 Popular Collie Mix Dogs!

Border Collies are known for being workaholics, so by crossing with one, you will surely end up with a hardworking, active and really intelligent dog! Whether you are thinking of mating them with a small dog like the Jack Russell Terrier or one of the biggest breeds out there, the Great Dane, we tell you what to expect.
Take a look at the most popular eight Collie mix breeds here: www.allthingsdogs.com/border-...
If you are an experienced owner looking for a super high energy obedience or agility dog, you can consider the German Shepherd or Australian Shepherd mixed with a Border Collie. However, if you are looking for the intelligence and trainability of the Collie, but in a smaller dog, a Jack Russell or Corgi mix would be the perfect choice for you! Alternatively, if you are just looking for a loving guardian pet, the Pitbull cross might be the dog for you.
So, which one of these did you like the most? Let us know in the comments below!

I rescued a 10 week old puppy And was told it was a Black lab and Australian shepherd. When i got the lab results back i found out it didn't have Black lab or Australian shepherd in it at all. It was 23% Border collie 21% Samoyed Blue Heller 17% German Shepherd 16% Golden retriever 13% Collie 10% Keeshond He is all black with a little white on his chest. Looks like a big Border collie with a German shepherd head with Border collie ears. Most loving dog I ever had.

I'm on my second Borderheeler. This guy, Seamus, is totally different in looks and personality than my previous one, Oz. It hurt a lot when I lost Oz, I didn't think I'd completely get over it, I haven't, but anyway. Oz took after the blue heeler build and coloration, Seamus took after the BC, but with spotted coat where a BC is usually white. Both of these guys were/are phenomenal, both actually figure things out, Seamus is more responsive to ball chasing, catching, retrieving. Both are very friendly, affectionate, intelligent, and loyal without question. I just love this breed, and to think Seamus was a rescue. Prior owners just didn't understand how to handle him. The shelter wouldn't let him go to a home that didn't have prior experience, I'm so lucky I did. When I adopted him, I told them he won't be coming back, 2 years later, he's my very best buddy, goes everywhere with me.

[@Growmap]

Border Heelers are my favorite dog. I've had a Texas Heeler and three Border Heelers in my lifetime. All three looked very similar (strongly Border Collie same as your Seamus). They are better for having around horses than the purebred parents. And a 50/50 cross gives you the strong genetics + hybrid vigor for better health (although you could still have some genetic issues as these breeds all descend from the same ancestors further back).

hello, I have a short haired border collie & black lab mix. his name is Diesel. he has coat like a lab but traditional collie color: white feet, white tip on tail, mostly white face with black around his left eye, & finally white patch on his chest. we have 3 kids 11& 8 year old boys and 8 month old daughter and Diesel is awesome with the kids you can see him switch it up for the baby and be super gentle with her. he is a rescue we had him at 4 weeks we didn't know what we were getting into. we live in a upstairs 2 bedroom apartment. he has only went to the bathroom a handful of times as a puppy if we weren't right there when he woke up from napping then he would g go inside but we felt like that wasn't his fault but ours.. we taught him to ring a bell that hangs fro. our front door by grabbing his front paws and making him ring the bell before letting him outside and 4/5 times is all it took and he was getting the hang of it. eveytime he went inside it wasnt him it was our fault for not being there for him when he woke up. now he is little over 1 year old.. he has always listened well. never been on a leash but 2 times at 6months we took to the beach and he took off and when we caught him he snapped at a little girl so I leashed him for a few hours and 2nd time was just few weeks ago again he snuck off and didn't want to stay in his yard so again leashed him for a few hours. both times it was hard because he looked like we just beat the snot out of him. "he has never been hit by the way" not sure using the leash as a time out tool was the smartest now he relates being on leash to being in trouble luckily as an adult he walks besides us loyally no matter where we go so never have really used the leash. I try and take him to the river at least once a day for 1-3 hours. I let him out the truck and he runs while I drive around and he loves it. we were starting to have issues with him wanting to wonder off if you took eyes off him for 10 seconds he would sneak off but I knew the problem again wasn't him it was us not taking him out for exercise enough and now with the daily river trips to run he as stopped taking off.. what I like about the sand is it works him evan harder since sand is way harder to run in. he has never bit anyone or another dog or cat. most he does is barks while he runs up to a stranger then sniffs them and runs back to us. we made sure to take him around lots of people and animals since day one and it worked to make him a well behaved social dog. he just wants to play.the chase game with other dogs. he also loves to play ball that's his thing is ball 24/7. I also use a R/c monster truck that goes 60mph to exercise him he loves to chase it like he is herding sheep or something. overall wish we had 15-20 acres to roam on but I have no complaints. long as he has that exercise daily and I mean 1-3 hours daily 2 times a day when we can but with that he is an amazing dog. he loves to play with my 2 boys you would think he is one of them. he plays with them and sleeps with them. with diesel in the house I feel safer at night knowing someone tries coming in the house specially at night I know he will alert us asap. I can't evan sneak in. I have tried to fool him but he doesn't miss a thing. and he is so gentle with the baby. he keeps my boys from arguing they start getting loud he barks at them telling them to be quite and settle down its hilarious he like to play a game where he sits on the boys then runs off just to come back and do it again. he isn't just a dog or a companion he is one of my kids/family members 100%

Have a 2 year old mix, Garm. Named him for the sounds he made while learning to speak, but he's definitely not a hellhound. But I've always been curious what his mixture was. He's got the coat. With very minor brindling on his eyebrows and muzzle. And the wide jaw and square skull of a terrier. But his coat is long and soft and he has that thick neck and chest mane of most sheepdogs. Ears are completely floppy. Eyes are big and brown. Has all of that intelligence and attentiveness of a working dog, and I've spent a long time training. But he still let's his nose get the best of him at times. Strikes these tracking poses. He was a litteral off the street rescue so I have no idea his parentage. But I've always been curious.

A glaring omission is the McNab, which is an old cross between a Basque Shepherd and Border Collie. They are an excellent herding animal that blends the calm and smarts of a shepherd plus the energy and intelligence of the Border. Known in California for years as one of the kindest and loyal, not to mention incredible work ethic but also protective of family and herd. Ranchers know this cross as a highly valued addition. Plus they are used in search and rescue. Google McNabb images and you will find the best and brightest dog ever.

im SO GLAD you didn't leave out the health issues of breeding with the corgi. You're the first video I've watched that didn't gloss over that mix. Can we stop it w the breeding of stubby legged dogs? If you want a mini BC mix, get the border jack! It'll save you a ton on vet bills later down the line. like 5 lb dogs, stubby legged dogs are not healthy. cats can pull off the stubby legs bc they have a more flexible spine, but in dogs it causes back problems. They can suffer from severe and crippling back pain, and even paralysis. imagine if someone purposely bred you for unnatural looks that later down the line they knew would cause you serious health issues all for aesthetics. if you truly love a breed, you should try to breed the unhealthy traits out or mix in new healthier breeds.

[@sodium223]

I wish we would have known what our dog was before getting her because she's a corgi/border collie mix and for years every few months her back leg will start hurting her and we've never figured out why. But it might not be from genetics, because she has short legs but they're not as stumpy as a corgis legs.

Some of these make little sense. The most common cross is a Border Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog/Heeler crossed with a Border Collie. The other most common cross is a Texas Heeler (Australian Shepherd crossed with a Border Collie). Both of these produce working dogs. I prefer Border Heeler crosses as less aggressive than Heelers and less passive than some Border Collies. All of these crosses produce very high energy dogs that have a strong herding instinct. They are NOT good for most family pets as they require a lot of attention and exercise.

Who tf wants a pit bull collie

[@Muzzle801]

We had a Collie x Staffordshire Bull Terrier who unfortunately had to be put to sleep, age 13 last week. Omg she's the very best of both breeds. 23kg powerhouse. A true cut and shut with a very muscular front end and slender back. Looked very staff like but had a collie rough. Filled with intelligence, tenacity and love. She loved water and would get in our kayaks or swim behind us in her doggie life vest. Endlessly trainable right until she left us. That girl would do anything for a single grain of rice. She could count, purposely manipulate and cry wolf too. One time she wanted a pack of sweets. She randomly cried out in pain and then took the packet off the table to compensate herself for her faux injury 🤣 The best thing was, I told her not to do it again and she never took any single item of food without being told she could have it first. I can't imagine having anything but a Staff x Collie, so when my heart isn't so broken I'll endeavour to find another.
