Who has border collies?

Well, Border Collies are intense herders. Herding dogs were bred to work for the entire day, if needed. That's why a 5km run would be considered a joke to a border collie cause they can take in a lot more than that. A border collie friend of mine once said a 35km run would just be a warm-up.

But with physical exercise and a lot of work involving her to think, you can easily poop her out.

By the way, welcome to the dog side! We'll be expecting pictures when you get her.
