I love Border collies. They are my favorite breed so I know a little bit about them. They know they need a lot of room to run around and play. Since they are herding dogs they may try to 'herd' your feet somewhere. Funny, isn't it! Also Border Collies are very hyper! They like to run, play and all that stuff. So if you don't have the time for one, I would recommend another breed. Hope this helps!
