If you want to look through some Border Sheepdog photos, we have great ones here.
If you’ve never heard of a Border Sheepdog, that’s because they aren’t technically a real breed. They’re a mix between the Border Collie and Shetland Sheepdog. Because of this, they can take physical traits from either breed. They’re likely to have a long, double coat, however, so they tend not to be the best for people who are allergic to dogs. You should never shave this coat, however — not even in summer.
They’re very affectionate dogs with their family, though they might be a little on guard when it comes to strangers. They’re one of the most intelligent dogs you could ever have, because they’re a combination of two very intelligent breeds. They make a great watchdog, though they might have a tendency to herd and nip at small children!
An Active Dog
As you might imagine, the energy level of these dogs is among the highest of all breeds. You should be prepared to give them plenty of mental and physical stimulation to ensure their needs are met, or you might have a destructive dog on your hands.
They also need a lot of mental stimulation.
Be prepared to do your research when finding a breeder. It can be harder to find reputable breeders of mixed dogs, as they can get away with a lot more since they don’t need AKC registration to prove legitimacy.
To truly understand this breed you can look at some of these photos of the dog from a puppy right through to a senior dog. Click on any of the links and you will discover some of the very best Instagram accounts to follow. As you will see from the photos this is a breed you will quickly fall in love with.
