The next dog of the week! The stunning Boarder Collie.

The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic breed of dog that is known for its exceptional herding abilities. Originally bred in the Scottish Borders region, the Border Collie was developed to work with sheep and other livestock. Today, the breed is still used for herding, but it is also a popular companion animal and a top performer in various canine sports.

The Border Collie is a medium-sized dog that typically weighs between 30 and 45 pounds and stands 18 to 22 inches tall at the shoulder. The breed has a distinctive appearance, with a medium-length, thick coat that can come in a variety of colours and patterns, including black and white, blue and white, red and white, and sable and white. The breed has a very alert and expressive face, with bright, intelligent eyes and erect, pointed ears.

One of the most striking characteristics of the Border Collie is its high level of intelligence and trainability. These dogs are highly responsive to training and excel in a wide variety of activities, including obedience, agility, and herding competitions. Many Border Collies also excel in search and rescue, therapy, and service work. They are easily trained and are able to learn a wide variety of commands and tricks.

Another notable characteristic of the Border Collie is its boundless energy and stamina. These dogs require a great deal of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. They thrive on physical activity and love to run, play, and work. Without enough exercise, a Border Collie can become bored and destructive. Regular walks, runs, and playtime are essential for this breed.

Despite their high energy levels, Border Collies are known for being affectionate and loving pets. They form strong bonds with their owners and are known for being loyal and devoted companions. They are also very good with children and make great family pets.

However, owning a Border Collie is not for everyone. These dogs require a great deal of time, patience, and commitment. They need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation, and they can be quite demanding. They are also known to be quite vocal and may bark excessively if they are not well-trained.

Proper training and socialization is essential for Border Collies. They need to be exposed to a wide variety of people, animals, and environments from a young age to help them become well-adjusted, confident adults. Basic obedience training is a must, as is training in basic manners such as not jumping up on people or begging for food.

In terms of grooming, the Border Collie's thick double coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and shedding. They shed moderately twice a year, and regular brushing during these times can help keep shedding to a minimum.

In conclusion, the Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic breed that requires a great deal of time, patience, and commitment. They are excellent pets for active families and individuals who have the time and energy to give them the exercise and mental stimulation they need. With proper training and socialization, they make loving and loyal companions.

Springers are highly trainable and excel in obedience, agility and field trials. They are also very affectionate, which makes them great with children and other pets.

While Springers are generally healthy and hardy dogs, they are prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and ear infections.

Puppies have small stomachs and high energy needs, so it's important to feed them small, frequent meals. Puppies should be fed three to four times a day until they are about six months old, and then two to three times a day after that.

When choosing a puppy food, look for a brand that is formulated for puppies and made with high-quality protein sources, such as chicken or lamb. Avoid foods that contain corn, wheat, or soy as the main ingredients, as these are low-quality fillers that provide little nutritional value.

In addition to a balanced diet, it's important to make sure your puppy has access to clean, fresh water at all times.

As your puppy grows, you can gradually reduce the number of meals per day and increase the serving size. It's important to monitor your puppies weight and adjust their food intake as needed to ensure they are growing at a healthy rate.

It's also important to consider your puppy's age and activity level when determining how much to feed them. Puppies that are more active will require more food to fuel their bodies, while less active puppies may need less.

In summary, feeding your puppy a balanced diet with high-quality protein sources, frequent meals, and appropriate portion sizes will help them grow and thrive.
