• Appearance

  This graceful breed can be recognised by its distinctive black and white colouration, although a variety of colours are permissible. The coat can either be smooth or of medium length with a thick water resistant undercoat.

• Characteristics

  The Border Collie has an effortless gait, lifting its feet just a short distance off the ground. Workmanlike build, with a sensible head, and free from exaggerations the Border Collie appears as a natural breed.

• Temperament

  Intelligent, active. They will form a very close bond with their owner and family but, unless given plenty of time and exercise, are not ideal pets for a family with very young children.
