“Border Collies are believed to be the most intelligent dog of all the breeds. The Border Collie is a working farm dog, and was raised mainly to herd sheep and other livestock and is a herding dog.”

“The Border Collie is known for their eye stare, where they will crouch down low, and sneak up on the sheep or other livestock they are stalking. The Border Collie is such a smart dog, that they will amaze you at some of the things they can do. For this reason, owning a Border Collie is not for everyone, and sometimes it is hard for some families to own such a marvelous dog.”

“Border Collie's will get very restless if you don't have a training program lined up for them, or some sort of activity to keep them busy. Just leaving them in the house or back yard will drive them to do crazy things if they don't get enough exercise every day.”

“Border Collies are so smart, they will be the first one to figure out a way to escape and get away, if there is a way out of your house or property. Training a Border Collie can be a bit of a challenge, as they are bred to watch your every movement, just as if you were a sheep or livestock basically to them.”

“Border collies are a medium size dog, and their coat of hair is very easy to take care of. Most Border Collie's are obsessed with things that pass by them, and feel they need to chase and stalk them down, sometimes even killing small animals, so you need to pay good attention to your dog, and make sure they are socialized with any small animals that they will be living with.”

“Border Collies short hair comes in two coats, and sheds on a regular basis, and more heavily in winter time. Border Collie's come in many different colors, but the most common is black and white.”

“The average size of a Border Collie is 30 to 45 pounds, with males usually weighing the most. The average life span of a Border Collie is roughly around 12 to 15 years. Border Collies' coats come in two varieties, rough and smooth. Both rough and smooth coated dogs have double coats with a soft, thick undercoat and a rougher outer coat.”

“If you have a Border Collie, you will find they are so energetic, and can run and stop and turn on a dime, which make excellent characteristics for herding sheep and other livestock, and pretty fun to watch also!”

“There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things! Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth. When a puppy is roughly, 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in. All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.”

“The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them. Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.”

“Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age. By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in. You should make sure that all baby teeth are out, so that a tooth is not left in, and another one comes in and crowds the space, and gives your dog pain. You would need to visit the vet if you see this happening.”

“Your puppy is going to want to chew on something, just like a real baby, their teeth are coming in, and they want to relieve some of the pain. It is good for them to chew, to help the teeth come thru. You would want to get some appropriate chew items to help them.”

“You could start to train your dog to have their teeth brushed. You can pick up doggie tooth supplies at your local pet store usually, and get down and dirty and brush your doggies’ teeth. Rawhide chews are an excellent source of good tooth hygiene, as they are good for your dog’s teeth, and can help take off build up plaque, and dogs usually love it also!”

“A lot of puppies and dogs end up getting human food usually from the weakest link in the family. If your dog is under the table, they usually will go to the person they think will mostly likely give them some food scraps. If you do, just remember, chocolate and some nuts can kill your dog never give chocolate. Raisins can be just as deadly for your dog, do not give, they can shut down your dog’s kidneys, so be very careful of these products and your puppy or dog.”
