Border Collie Names

Border Collie potty training secrets…

Border Collie names should be fun and exciting, just like almost all Border Collies are. These dogs have loads of energy and an uncanny ability to want to work hard and play hard, so your new Border Collie’s name should no doubt reflect these personality traits.

Other prominent characteristics of this breed include being extremely even tempered, eager to learn, and easy to instruct. Often they are very introverted, or reserved, and typically don’t enjoy snuggling up on the couch or being overly affectionate with their owners. Instead, they want to go, go, go, and can be very intense about their object of attention, which used to be sheep; today they are often trained as excellent agility and competition dogs.

It is hard to miss the physical characteristics of a Border Collie, which almost always includes a blend of long black or brown and white fur, but some will have reddish-brown, even all black or almost all white fur. They are a medium sized breed. This is definitely a breed that requires a commitment because a Border Collie will require care of the coat, and will not be happy with just lying around the house.
