A Border Collie Training on an Agility Course

Border collies are athletic, highly focused dogs widely celebrated for their unmatched agility and work ethic. On a grassy training course, obstacle equipment such as flexible tunnels and bright marker cones test the dog's speed, obedience, and coordination.

Extraordinary Intelligence of Herding Dogs

Originating along the border region between Scotland and England, border collies were bred to herd sheep across rugged hill country in difficult weather. Scientists and canine experts frequently rank the border collie as the smartest of all domestic dog breeds, capable of learning hundreds of distinct verbal commands and hand signals. Their intense gaze is used to direct livestock without barking.
