Description

The Border Collie is one of Britain's oldest strains of dog, bred to herd livestock. Despite its appealing qualities, it does not slip effortlessly into becoming a family pet, and accounts for almost half of all abandoned dogs in Britain. This text provides advice on how to choose your dog - whether a puppy or rescue collie - and how to rear, feed and train it.
