Does anyone have or like Border Collies?

I like BCs. I may own one someday as they are so good at agility and ... aren't they the smartest breed? I think they are and if not they are in the top 5 of smartest breeds. I would have to do more research on the breed before I owned one, though. The ones at work generally get on my nerves but I honestly believe it's because they are so high energy and so being locked up in a crate most of the day isn't easy for them

*raises hand* I have a border collie!!!!!

And welcome to Pet Talk!! Don't you just love BCs??!! Right now I just have Blaze, and he's almost 4 years...I used to have another border collie too, Bandit. Here's a few pics of Blaze! I'd love to see some pics of your BCs as well, whistler_pups!

I'll post a few more...I am just so proud of my Blazer boy!!

Here's a few more...

(I love outdoor pictures of Blaze if you can tell! hehe)

How big and what color are your Border collies? Blaze is actually 40 pounds...on the smaller side I guess, but I was wondering what to compare him to.

... I do not have a Border Collie, but my cousin does and when she comes over she will always bring him. He and my Aussie, Rex, are Buddies!!

Yes borders are the most intelligent dog breed around. Can't get any smarter.
Although Poodles are number 2 which suprised me.

Anyway heres some pcis of my Diva, Sasha. Shes a BC/Terrier mix. Shes the size of a jack russel but shes al BC in attitude and herding and drive and everything

here she is herding our friends son

**Sadie_Sasha** · 11-28-2005, 12:01 PM

and heres the look i get when she wants to play

**dab_20** · 11-28-2005, 12:29 PM

She looks just like a mini border collie!! Too cute

Blaze is adorable!

**Sadie_Sasha** · 11-28-2005, 12:33 PM

yea thats pretty much what she is.
I should just start saying shes a Mini Border when people ask what she is.. Lol

Cause i just consider her a border collie. I dont really see her as a mix, cause the only thing thats mixed on her is her tail and her size.

Buddy and Niki

Pepper the foster

Yup they're about medium-sized dogs, about the same size as Aussies, which are on average about 40 - 45 pounds at adult weight

**Sadie_Sasha** · 11-28-2005, 01:04 PM

Well, Seeing Sasha is a mix, Shes about 20 pounds.

Sometimes people ask me if my dog is a BC or a BC mix because of the way she moves and stares. She is a Belgian groenendael though. Our herding teacher breeds border collies. They are neat to watch, but really not my kind of breed. I groom many of them at work and they are just so not for me.
