I love Border Collies but people keep advising me against getting one ever because most of the ones that we meet around here are somewhat 'neurotic' or something. Almost everyone I know used to blame Tango's fears and other things based on the fact that she is half Border Collie...I don't think it has anything to do with that, to be completely honest. She has got the energy level of the Border Collie and a lot of other similarities. I often refer to her as my Border Collie in disguise...lol. I'm pretty sure I could handle a well bred Border Collie and would love to have one..especially since I want to compete in agility (Not that I can't do it with a Toller or a Belgian, but Border Collies excel at it usually). However, I would like to know what they're really like, as I've only ever met one with a nice temperament before and it was brief. Are they as neurotic as most think they are? Are they naturally very fearful and skittish of everything? I don't really have any specific questions besides those, but if you have any information that you can share with me it would be greatly appreciated. Reading about them over the internet as helped somewhat, but most of the sites say the same things over and over again and don't really say much about their temperaments except that they're active, they need constant exercise, etc. All of which I already know.
