Height (in): | male: 20-23, female: 18-21 |

Coat: | Can be either smooth or rough. The smooth coat is short; the rough coat is medium to long and flat to Slightly waby. |
Character: | Border Collies are intelligent, determined, and brave. They form a very close attachment to their family and are always eager to please. |
Temperament: | This breed gets along well with other pets and children, as long as there is sufficient activity to keep everyone occupied. |
Care: | The Border Collie requires at least weekly brushing. |
Training: | This breed is very intelligent and eager to please, thus making training a very pleasurable and rewarding experience for both dog and owner. |
Activity: | The Border Collie needs to stay active to keep from being bored (and, therefore, behaving badly). He needs plenty of exercise or specific tasks on a regular basis. |
