They are very intelligent. In less than a week my border collie taught me how to roll over.

[@chillycorpse3230]

Honestly I very athletic but lazy so I see this as a win. In my days I have no activity to do due to not really having friends. So "teaching me to roll over" and get out of bed to walk or play would be a benefit to both of us. Been doing my research on this breed because it is my favorite breed.

[@scrumbfunk]

Oh god brilliant hahaha. I brought my border collie pup home just over a week ago, and I will 100% be stealing this joke anytime someone meets her and comments on how intelligent they are

[@Kathleen67.]

LOL

[@pneeb419]

@@scrumbfunk just read this comment from over a month ago....that means you've had you pup for about 5 weeks.... How's it going? Are you exhausted at the end of the day just trying to keep her out of stuff and destroying things? When my 14+ BC was a pup, she had a knack for getting into trouble if she didn't get enough exercise. She slept under our bed and got bored one night and we woke up to hearing her ripping the wallpaper off the wall (we wanted to eventually remove it anyway). Tore the binding off a book in the bookcase when she got big enough to reach it. Stuff usually happened when we were sleeping so I learned to take her out for a run right before bed so she'd sleep all night. She eventually grew out of the destructive phase but man did she keep us on our toes till then. But it was fun! I hope things are going well for you and your puppy! Too many BCs end up getting put into the rescue system because they are more work than people think. But they are so worth it. Get through the puppy phase and training phase and I promise you, your BC will be the best dog you'll ever have!!

[@zanderw1199]

I hady border collie for 13 years until recently. We brought my friend from Scotland when we moved to Canada. Never been so sad in my life without him. Cherish your furry friends.

[@JorvikBerserkir]

We had a 17 year old border collie, she was insanely intelligent. If you felt like crap she would come over and pester us until we cheered up. We had to put her down a few weeks ago due to heart failure. She had puppies and we kept one, but we had to put that one down at 15 because of cancer.

[@amandacai9451]

wait border collies can live up to 17 years?! i thought only 12-15!

[@revengenerd1]

Ours lasted till 15, I grew up with her from 12 until I was 25 (she was a rescue dog so just turned 2 when we got her) if you pretended to cry she would nudge you and then jump up and lick you, if you still continued she started whimpering and then nudge you more. If we ever gave her bones she would keep pieces and put them under your bed pillow, if somene showed agression to you she would circle them and bark, if she was cleaning herself and you put your hand near her she would lick and nibble your hand clean, she died of kidney failure and it was one of the few times in my life I saw my dad cry, over a decade later we still speak of her with loving memories. My parents did get another border collie a few years later and shes sweet in her own way and very loving, the 1st time I went to their home after they got her she growled at me for a few minutes until she relaxed around me, now when she sees me she whines and runs up to me and jumps up and licks me, and likes to sleep on sofa beside me.

[@awkward_smile._.]

Any training tips?

[@issiecottrill8419]

@@awkward_smile._. Just be patient and make sure that your border collie gets enough exercise! Also make sure that you train them ASAP, so that they adjust and learn the rules while their brain is still young! Also when you are training them to sit, lay down, etc, use the word YES when they do it correctly, and NO when the do it incorrectly. Avoid using “good girl” because that phrase is said too often, and the may not connect “good girl” with doing something correct, rather than just being cute. (Sorry if that’s as confusing I’m not a great explainer!) Also, for their crate, I found that using scrap blankets to cushion, rather than a big pillow is much more beneficial. Blankets are much easier to wash, especially during their puppy stage. I found my blankets at Lens Mill Store. They were very inexpensive! My dog barely sheds, but if yours does, I advise brushing them once a week!

She has never left our property or chased after other animals or people walking or on bikes passing by. She loves the company of other people When they come to visit.

[@leeeastwood6368]

we used to call him Dog Corleone, the dogfather. he ruled over the family with an iron paw. but he never hurt those he loved, and never betrayed those who loved him in return. he passed at the age of 18. we were never able to replace him!😪

I have a border collie/ collie mix. His mind is pure border collie and he’s so smart. Soo smart, easy to handle, easy to train, energetic and understands so much.

[@GrCent]

My BC Zoey is about 3½ and she's the best dog ever. I play frisbee for about an hour a day with her. She absolutely loves it. She is so friendly and attentive. I couldn't ask for more. 🧡

[@pneeb419]

My 14+ yr old BC was quite a handful when she was young. She required intense activity 3 times a day (4 during the longer days of summer) just for us to keep our sanity. Approx an hour each time. If weather prevented it, she would occupy her time by dropping a ball down the basement stairs, watch it bounce all the way down then run down to get it....for hours. Her arthritis started getting bad a few years back and now she has cancer, so she sleeps most of the day. She was a mix and I think she must have greyhound in her cause omg she was fast. I miss watching her run and I can see it in her eyes somedays that she misses it too.

[@revengenerd1]

Ours had arthritis too and sadly died of kidney failure at 15, and she was fast until her final year where she started to struggle to get into the car or into bath, and sometimes if she wanted a cuddle. My parents 2nd is now almost 12 and shows no sign of slowing down, she is getting more lazy with time though but still wakes them around 7am each day.

[@fiamaria9266]

Aww so sorry that your fur baby has cancer🙏🏼

[@pneeb419]

@fiamaria9266 🙂 thank you! Actually, she lasted a year after I wrote that. It was just last week that the vet told us she was starting to suffer, so we had to do both the best and worst thing any pet owner has to face. Best for your pet. Worst for you. It's heartbreaking, but I know she running as fast as she can again.

[@pneeb419]

@revengenerd1 reading that your parent's BC wakes them at 7am everyday put a smile on my face!! We used to say that we didn't need clocks in the house with ours. We knew what time it was in the morning. What time it was when it was time for her 2nd run. What time it was when it time for her 3rd run. Her internal clock was better than the UTC.

[@JustMe-mh2pn]

Border collies will also be the first breed to be able to perform open heart surgery. They are so intelligent!

[@vio3366]

I hope one day I will be able to keep a border collie, my lifestyle doesn't match these dogs needs but in spite of that I would love to have one of these dogs especially if I ever happened to live in the countryside, such beautiful and smart animals ❤️

[@thea1990x]

i had a 2 border collies growing up. they were incredibly smart and obedient, we walked them off the lead everywhere, they knew the dangers of roads and not to go near people unless they came to them. of course all that went out the window if we were ever near a field of sheep, their instincts would kick in and they’d be off trying to round up the sheep and we’d have to apologise to a very annoyed farmer lol

[@tigerk403]

My border collie has never herded sheep, but he herds other dogs & sometimes people.

[@JuzefaWingedCat]

I wanted to play a prank on my bordercollie so I got 3 identical balls, and was like "do you like this? Or this? Why not this? Maybe this?" and had her confused with the existence of multiple balls ...2 weeks later I see her juggling-rolling all 3 balls on the ground, moving her nose form one to the other, kinda like herding them... Prank-tease turned into a game 😂😂😂

[@DogDingDa]

I’ve owned a border collie for years now, he knew how to take a walk without a leash, he knew where he was at all times, he was a smart dog. He recently died a few months ago. And we will remember him forever. Totally recommend a border collie if you’re looking to adopt a dog. 😄

[@samscarletta7433]

I adopted an 11 year old border collie. I swear she understands nearly everything I say. Love this beautiful girl.❤️

[@nonamenoface9491]

I had my reservations about getting a collie. We got a full bred 3 month old collie pup. I have two young kids and she took to them straight away. I had her house trained after about a month. She learned to give paw, sit and stay after some training. I make sure I walk her at least once a day, mostly twice a day. She has took to our family life and absolutely loves playing fetch. Despite my worries about her being energetic and now settling in our family but she is absolutely brilliant. Loves to play and is very obedient. I had to put and still do alot of time in to train her, walk her and now she is a brilliant dog. I couldn't recommend collies enough but as long as you are willing to put some time in.

[@emily7195]

I grew up with a border collie called 'skitz' I guess he was a little crazy when he was younger! He always looked out for us as kids. He would bark words like 'okay'!!! Never walked on a lead! My dad would get drunk and pass out in a field but the dog would always come home 🙈😂😭❤

[@angr3819]

We had a tricolour. She lived to about age 14. She was between 6 and 10 months when I got her. The most marvellous dogs but they need plenty of company and around 4 hours total exercise every day over at least three times a day. Two hours isn't really enough. Remember they are sheep herders by breed. Not a dog to have if you go out to work or are likely to within the lifetime of the dog. They can live to age 18. Very fun as they love chasing you, and very loyal and clever.

Pros of a border collie: Everything Cons: nothing

[@alphalunamare]

I have had four collies in the past and each has had his/her own personality and have been wonderful. I picked up my 'Buddy' before he hit the rescue farm and bloody hell did he surprise me. Ate the legs off of my furniture and terrorised all the cushions. Phew I thought what is this all about. He was manic and aggressive and nothing like a dog that I had had before. Everything he did was a dare ! Well perhaps the best thing I did was to keep my hands behind my back. He would jump right into my face and I'd just smile into his eyes ... he never once even tried to bite my nose. I did think oh shit, once in a while, but he grew out of the confrontation. It takes time with a Collie. Sure as hell don't tell him off or get angry because that negative energy is just pure destructive. He was so different to the other hounds that I had had that I took a DNA test for him, wondering if he was half wolf or something. It cam back Border Collie x Border Collie for 5 generations, not a spot of anything other. He is a Pedigree Border Collie even if a pain in the arse. So anyway, 18 months later I think he likes me. I sat down on the field yesterday whilst he was 100 yards away on cool grass after chasing the ball. He suddenly got up and came over and sat down beside me, and leaned on me as he panted off the heat from the earlier runs. It was really touching, not many folks like me to be honest and having him sit next to me was like not having to sit on my own table. I don't train him as such, I just tend to work with his natural tendencies and throw the ball where I know he is going to go etc. Folk's think he is well trained because I have learnt to work with him. What blessed irony that is :-) I loved this video :-)

I want to get a border collie but I’ve got to know, how much exercise do you give your border collies? I have enough time in my day to take a puppy out on a walk but I’m just not really a outdoors person and I can only spend at most 2 hours outside. Should I still get one?

[@ranger2316]

@@seandiaz5504 We do a 1 mile loop around our subdivision every day and let him run off some steam in the fenced back yard a couple of times a day. That seems to be enough for him. BC's and Aussie's make wonderful, loyal pets ... they really are NO trouble.

[@TheEickert]

@@ranger2316 I think it is unrealistic to say they are no trouble. Owners need to know how to socialize and train them, otherwise they will herd and drive off other dogs and small children, even other adults outside the family. They tend to chase things and are very prey driven, so training with bicycles, roads, cars, cats and other pets is crucial. In fact, they can be a lot of trouble to the inexperienced owner.

[@ranger2316]

@@TheEickert True ... so can ANY dog!

[@TheEickert]

@@ranger2316 I would argue that border collies display these behaviors more intensely than many other breeds, because they are bred for their work ethic and intelligence. Many other popular breeds are bred for a look, but BCs are bred for a personality. And I'm not saying that they aren't wonderful and way easier in other ways than other popular breeds. But it is unrealistic to represent this as a breed without its own quirks, and the exercise requirement is the least of it from my experience.

I've actually heard herding training is a way to get that 2 hour energy out! Or swimming! So, for those who are worried work would get in the way but adore border collies as a dream pet, you can do this as an extra bit. And in their early years, hire a trainer to train them while you are working. This you don't HAVE to do though.

I love my baby but she has been the most difficult dog I’ve ever had to deal with, her energy is insane it never runs out so unless you have time to entertain or go for multiple long walks a day don’t get one. Yes they are very smart, she learned tricks in 5 mins she listens and is obedient. I live in a decent sized house with a big backyard and it still isn’t enough for my border collie, so please please don’t get one unless you live on a farm. If you don’t drain that energy with 3+ hours of INTENSE exercise they chew and destroy and get into everything. 85% of border collie owners return or rehome their pups in the first 18 months of getting them because people don’t realize how difficult it is to own one.

I have had 4 Border Collie's they are great. They love structured routine so they can understand what's happening next. If you give them a short play time (chasing the ball) in the morning and a walk at the end of the day they should be happy.

@@MonacoMcLaren oh thank you this was very helpful, I'm getting a collie very soon

If you haven't the time to walk them ever day I'd advise not to get one

My soon to be ex-girlfriend has a border collie and she never takes it for a walk longer than it needs to relive herself. She’s antisocial and thus the dog never socializes. When I take her for a jog she’ll growl at other animals because she wasn’t socialized. The dog is perpetually anxious, she paces around the apartment and always looks like she’s on edge. My girlfriend suffers from PTSD and anxiety/depression and I think the dog almost absorbs her owners emotions….the dog is pretty obese too. That’s the first thing I noticed when I was introduced to the dog…. I explained she’s not just “fluffy”’because you can’t feel any ribs or see any belly tuck. I take her for a long walk and/jog every time she’s over at my apartment but’s that’s only 1x maybe 2x a week and she loves it. But when I break up with her owner, the dog is never going to get out and it makes me really, really sad… I’ve tried to get my girlfriend to read articles talking about the needs of border collies but she thinks “it’s just the way she is”
