I hade a wonderful border named Breeze. She was agreat dog. However I lived on a 60 acre farm and there was plenty for her to do. These dogs are highly motivated. They like to be busy. If they don't have a job to do they will invent one! I have known some of these dogs to chase cars just because they need something to herd. If you get a border I sugjest getting a puppy. These dogs need to bond young or they don't truely bond. I loved Breeze. When I hurt my back and had to give up my farm. I found a home for her on a farm because I knew she would not do well in a quiet setting with limited mobility. Think very hard. Do you have alot of time to spend with a dog?
