Border Collie

Widely considered the most intelligent of all dog breeds, the Border Collie is a workaholic with an intense 'eye' used to control sheep. They are incredibly agile and responsive, thriving on mental challenges and vigorous physical activity. While they are affectionate companions, their drive to work means they need a dedicated owner who can keep their busy minds and bodies occupied.
