Known for their strong work ethic and intelligence, Border Collies were originally bred as herding dogs. Their high activity levels and mental astuteness mean that it is vital these dogs are given a job. Given their original purpose, a Border Collie may be happy as a working dog on a farm. Border Collies may also be able to channel their intelligence into agility or obedience training.
