The Border Collie and Golden Retriever are both dogs with high IQs and great looks, so many people can’t choose between these two types of dogs, and because of this, most people place the key point of choice on whether or not they are good to raise. Today I will give you a detailed description of the differences between the Border Collie and Golden Retriever from the four aspects of obedience, feeding difficulty, exercise and health management, so that you can choose the first dog in your mind as early as possible.

Let’s look at the obedience of the Border Collie and Golden Retriever. The Border Collie’s intelligence is very high, so the Border Collie is more likely than the Golden to read his master’s mind and to become one with his master’s family more quickly. After a period of training, the Border Collie can help his master watch the children and keep house, so the Border Collie is better in this area of obedience.

Let’s look at the difficulty of raising Border Collies and Goldens. The Border Collie is a medium-sized dog and the Golden is a large dog. Therefore, the Golden is larger than the Border Collie, has denser hair than the Border Collie, and has a greater need for living space than the Border Collie, so the Golden will be significantly more difficult to raise than the Border Collie, and this is something you need to pay particular attention to.

In addition, let’s compare the exercise levels of the Border Collie and Golden Retriever. In terms of exercise, Border Collies and Golden Retrievers are comparable, as both dogs are physically active, so owners need to spend more time with them outside to exercise, and if the exercise is not up to par, Border Collies and Golden Retrievers will easily go “crazy” and like to make a mess in the house.

Finally, whether we are feeding a Border Collie or a Golden Retriever, we need to do a good job of managing the health of the dog. The Border Collie is prone to canine microvirus enteritis, gastritis, osteoarthritis and infectious hepatitis, while the Golden is prone to obesity, hip disease and various ophthalmic problems. The choice must be taken seriously.
