Herd Nerd. { The Border Collie in its natural element }
Border Collies were origianlly bred to herd livestock, and are known worldwide to be exceptional at their work. Named
a "workaholic" for its sheer drive and love for working, the Border
Collie has an eye that can hypnotize cattle. It can master any type of herd by
crouching down and mesmerizing the animals with its intense stare. One of the
most trainable breeds, the Border Collie also serves well as a narcotics and
bomb detection dog and is a frequent high performer in obedience, agility,
Frisbee trials, police work, search and rescue, Flyball, performing tricks and
competitive obedience. Some Border Collies have been trained very successfully
as guide dogs for the blind.
