It can be said that nowadays there are very many people who breed dogs, and compared to Teddy, Corgi and other breeds, there are relatively fewer people who breed Border Collies, so when you see dogs walking outside, there are fewer Border Collies among the breeds. So many people who know or love the Border Collie will have a doubt: why are there fewer people raising Border Collies? Let’s briefly discuss this issue below.
The Border Collie’s IQ is definitely high, and its personality is also very good, but it may be known for a shorter period of time, and the Border Collie previously existed as a herd management, so at first many people did not keep it as a pet in their homes.
And in show life, because of the intelligence of the border collie, it is much more as people’s working partner than as a pet, because the border collie is very trainable, and the execution of people’s commands is also very high, so it is very competent for the police guard or other work.
Furthermore, because of the characteristics of the Border Collie itself, it is very energetic. If it is kept in the home, if the owner does not give the Border Collie the right amount of exercise every day, then it will destroy the home very thoroughly. And because of the amount of exercise the Border Collie needs, a normal walk will not satisfy it. Most Border Collies are very fond of finishing games like Frisbee and are the best in their kind in competitive competitions.
Most people today do not have that much time or energy to work with the habits of the Border Collie, and if the Border Collie is enclosed in the home, there will be some impact on its mood, so some people will think that the Border Collie is very difficult to raise because of this reason.
The above is a brief introduction to the issue of “why do border collies have fewer people”, it can be said that the border collie is indeed very intelligent, if given some training, it will still be very fast to integrate into the family. But some of its nature still exists, and this is not to be ignored. So many people in the choice of the family pet, after a lot of consideration, most will not choose the border shepherd, but once you choose the border shepherd, to give it absolute love and care.
