The Collie Dogs
The Collie dog makes an excellent sporting dog, and can be taught to do the work of the Pointer and the Setter, as well as that of the Water Spaniel and the Retriever.

Grace and majesty are in his every movement and attitude, and even to the most prosaic mind there is about him the inseparable glamour of feudal romance and poetry.

Border Collie Characteristics/Temperament
Border Collies like to work – or more specifically, they like to herd. A Border Collie’s intense stare is said by some to actually hypnotize their charges. Those eyes see everything – every movement, every reaction, every nuance – and the dogs react instinctively to counteract or take advantage of the herds’ movement. It’s almost […]
